Transition to KSUmail

Beginning on launch day, August 4, 2017, UITS staff will visit faculty and staff by appointment to assist with settings and preferences. Prior to launch, you will receive an email will be sent via a KSU Service Desk ticket prompting you to create an appointment for your transition from Zimbra to KSUmail.
  • Replying to “Your Appointment for the Transition to KSUmail” - Download
These appointments will help you set-up your KSUmail in the Microsoft Outlook desktop client. However, you will not have to wait until your appointment to begin using KSUmail via the web and/or your mobile device.
 
Note: On August 4, it may take some time for your old emails and calendar appointments to download and populate in your new KSUmail account - we estimate it will take about one hour for every GB of data in your Zimbra account.
