Email @ UB
Moving to UBmail powered by Google
| Yes, I graduated May '09 or later | No, I'm a UB employee |
|---|---|
And my degree conferral date was 6/1/2009 or later, |
I have an @buffalo.edu email address for work, |
And I accepted the UB Alumni offer to move my email, |
although I could be an SA, RA, or GA). |
And I graduated from any school at UB. |
Before the move what should I do?
- Make notes about your email forwarding rules so you can re-create them.
- Make a copy of (export) your contact list so you can re-create it after the move.
- Save messages (including attachments) with a total size greater than 20 MB to local files.
What will happen to my email?
- Your forwarding will stop on your conversion date; your forwarding instructions will not be moved.
- Your email address @buffalo.edu stays the same.
- Your email messages will be moved to UBmail powered by Google.
- Your folder organization will be flattened into labels. If you have a folder in your Inbox called family and a folder in family called Parents (Inbox.family.Parents), then you will have a new label called Inbox/family/Parents.
- Messages containing executable code or whose total size (message + attachment) exceeds 20MB will not be moved.
- Your addressbook (contact list) will not be moved.
- Your filters will not be moved.
How will I get to my email?

On your conversion day, you can send and receive email at your UBmail powered by Google account. During the conversion, you will see your messages as they are moved.
