Today, the final group of people moving from Zimbra to Gmail got their “all clear” message stating that all the email for all the people in this migration cohort had been copied to Gmail. This means that individual accounts for all Carleton people are now officially complete. Meanwhile, the project team continues to work hard to move all the shared inboxes in use on campus from Zimbra to Google.
As you settle into using Gmail and Google Calendar, if there are things you can’t figure out how to do, we invite you to contact the helpdesk (x5999 or webhelpdesk@carleton.edu) or try the “help” tool available under the gear-shaped button in Gmail and Google Calendar.
Turning attention to Dropbox, we are excited that Dropbox will soon implement features that will be quite beneficial to the Carleton Community, and we have signed on to be a beta testing campus for these new features. As we learn more about these features and about the beta testing process we will use this information as we work with departments to determine a good date for each of their moves to using cloud storage (Dropbox and Google Drive) for departmental files and folders.
