[Important]Renewal of Tokyo Tech Mail system [日本語]

We sincerely would like to apologize for the failure at 14th September. It happened from the beginning of this replacement, but its reason was some failures of the other independent systems for authentication.

About every email which was delivered to the new system between 13:00 14th and about 12:00 15th

They have been copied to the old system. We made a new folder which was named mail0915xxxx on your mailbox and putted them into it. So please check it at Tokyo Tech Mail[OLD](webmail) at Tokyo Tech portal. And it is necessary to move these emails to your folder as inbox if you connect to the mail system by POP3.

About the renewal

Due to the end of hardware maintenance agreement, we will replace the system of Tokyo Tech Mail.
Date of renewal: 14:00 September 22th (Fri.) 2017.
Date of renewal: 13:00 September 14th (Thu.) 2017.

Note: we will switch our mail transfer agent from the old system to the new system.

About TokyoTech mail auth ID
It becomes the user name of your email account on the new system, which is only used to login our email servers with your email client software like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. On the old system it was as same as your email address. Then on the new system it will be changed to TokyoTech auth ID for protecting from hacking. It never means changing your email address. Please get your TokyoTech mail auth ID after 13rd September befor starting setting your email client software.

About Webmail settings
Folders, Auto forword, Filters, Address books will be copied by the system administrators.
About mail data
After the renewal date, the system administrators will copy your old mail data into a Webmail folder which keeps the same structure of your folders in the old system. The system administrators will send messages when copy process is started/done. Please do not modify the folder while copy process is running.
Please update your mail configurations depending on your access methods.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation.

About the end of the old system
We are going to announce its date after it becomes clear. The date will be after October.
