If you primarily use Outlook for your e-mail through your Concordia-issued laptop, here is what will happen into order for you to successfully transition to your new CSP e-mail account. (More information is found on http://support.csp.edu/Gmail.)

1. During the months of June and July, 2007, the CSP IT department will create new e-mail accounts for all students.
2. There is a new logon link called Google Apps on the CSP Local Page.
3. After navigating to the new login page, you will need to click on the Google Apps link and then input your username and temporary password (Your L number including the capital L) in the respective fields. Do NOT check the box labeled Remember me on this computer as it will save the temporary password to your computer.

   

4. Press the Sign In button to sign into e-mail.
5. Right away, you will be prompted to change your password. The system will let you know how strong your password is, meaning that you should use a combination of letters, numbers, and upper and lower case to make your password difficult for others to access.
6. From here, you will be able to access your e-mail.

E-mail will be delivered to both your old and new e-mail accounts until July 1st. After July 1st, e-mail will be delivered only to your new account; your e-mail in your old account will remain there until it is migrated by the IT department.

Migrating Old E-mail

All student mail boxes are currently in the process of being migrated to the new system. You will be able to sign in to your new Google Apps account to receive and send new mail while your old e-mail is being migrated.

Migrating Contacts

If you created personal contacts within your old account that you would like to move to your new account, please follow the steps below:

Exporting from Outlook

1. In Outlook, go to File, Import and Export.
2. Choose Export to a file.
3. Click on the Next button.
4. Choose Comma Separated Values (Windows).
5. Click on the Next button.
6. Within the folder list, choose the Contacts folder.
7. Click on the Next button.
8. Browse to the Desktop and save the contacts as a .csv file.
9. Type in a name and click on the OK button.
10. Click the Next button.
11. Click Finish button.

Importing into Google

1. Log into your new CSP e-mail account.
2. On the left-side of the page, click on the Contacts link.

   

3. A new window will open. Click on the Browse... button.

   

4. Locate your .csv file saved on your Desktop and click on the Open button.
5. Click on the Import Contacts button.
6. Google will then tell you how many contacts were imported.
