Email Migration Update

On April 22nd at 5 pm your new Gmail account will be activated.  New email will begin arriving immediately and over the weekend the last 4 weeks of your mail will be migrated into your new account.

Your email address will remain the same as before (username@sou.edu).  Access to your new account will continue to be available through MySOU or by going to http://mail.g.sou.edu and using your SOU username and password.

If you use an IMAP client, new SOU settings for your email clients are here.
