3- Move Messages from OISENet

Retired Faculty & Staff email Migration

Use an email program | use Gmail | use Windows Live Hotmail

FirstClass/OISEnet will no longer function as an email server as of August 2010 when using the FirstClass client. As such, if you wish to move and existing messages from FirstClass to another email account, you can do so by one of the listed processes.

Access to your FirstClass messages via POP (Outlook, gmail, hotmail, etc.) is only available while on-campus in the OISE building (off-campus connections will not work after March 31st, 2010.)

Move Your Existing Messages from FirstClass to UTORmail

To move existing messages out of your OISEnet account, you will need to use an email program that can be configured for both your UTORmail (@utoronto.ca) account and your OISEnet (@oise.utoronto.ca) account at the same time. Then you can move messages back and forth between the accounts by drag & drop.

An installed email client software program is required to complete this process.

You will need an email program like Outlook, Mac Mail or Vista Mail to compete the moving of message out of your OISEnet account into your @utoronto UTORmail account.

You cannot use Outlook Express.

Please follow the instructions listed on the Information Commons site for the email client of your choice. This will configure your email program to your UTORmail account.
