At this time we believe ALL Parkview emails have been migrated. (Students, Faculty, Staff, etc). There are some steps that must be done for you to continue to receive email. MUST BE DONE!

• What does that mean to me?
  • After the transition it could mean very little. You will still be able to get your email on outlook, your phone, or web based interface.  
    Your email address stays the same! 
  • Teachers: This does bring with it some exciting possibilities for classroom uses, groups, etc. But we'll have to get to that. 
• So, i don't really care???
  
  • Well, I did say 'after the transition'. 
  • If you haven't already done so, you (or someone) will have to update your settings/habits to use the new system
    • Webmail: Very little change here. Basically, just going to a different website. Instead of going to webmail.parkviewbaptist.com you should now go to office.com, click on the mail icon and read your email there. 
    • Outlook Program: If you prefer to use the 'outlook program then you'll have to have your settings updated. This is almost automatic, but you'll have to do a little. Specifically follow these instructions
      "Migrate to Office365 Mail (Create a new Outlook Profile)"  to get the new settings. 
    • Phone or tablet: You do need to remove and setup your phone or tablet. The instructions for that can be found here:
       "Adding Parkview Email to a Phone or Tablet"
•  So, I've been migrated and everything is still working. My stuff must have magically caught the new settings. 
  • No, I'm sorry, that's not what's going on. There was no magic just for you 
  • What's actually happening is our old system is limping along and working for some folks. But SOON we are going to have to kill the old system.
  • At that time if you haven't updated your settings you won't be able to to get your email other than going to office.com 
• I think there's something wrong with the way it's working:
  • As always there's going to be some bugs to squash. 
  • Some we've found are 
    • Some of the distribution lists missed some folks. Be on the lookout for a group email you (or a friend) should get but don't.
    • The webmail spam filter doesn't know us as well as the old one. Sometimes things get caught. 
      • check your 'junk' folder
      • email helpdesk@parkviewbaptist.com to let us know you're missing something and we'll go look in 'quarantine' for it. 
      • The most obvious have been retail sites. (amazon was blocked initially. renweb got blocked because we received so many emails at one time the system thought we were being attacked)
  • As usual, if you find something we need to look at please email helpdesk@parkviewbaptist.com 

 The vast majority of people have been migrated. The rest will be sometime this week, or this weekend.
