WHAT HAPPENED?
The OIT ECC team has begun contacting users who still have Zimbra mailboxes, notifying them of the impending migration to Office 365, and of what steps to take pre- and post-migration. They mistakenly included a small number of CoC faculty and staff who were already migrated to Office 365 (active CoC faculty and staff were migrated in November of 2015). A copy of the notification can be seen below.
