As part of the University's transition to uAlberta Google Apps, Old Central Mail has been changed to read-only. This means it will no longer receive new messages.
Users who rely on Central Mail need to switch to uAlberta Google Apps to avoid disrupted mailflow.
To upgrade to uAlberta Google Apps, go to: http://www.ualberta.ca/google/switch
If you use a department email server, your email will continue to be delivered there. You can check your email status by going to CCID Profile Manager and checking the "forwarding" section.
For more information about the reasoning behind the switch to Google Apps, please visit the UAlberta Google Apps site.
