Students e-mail transfer from Google to Microsoft 365

On February 7th, 2022 a mailbox will be enabled for you in Microsoft 365.

This offers many advantages for you; all employees and students can find and connect to each other using the same applications and tools such as; e-mail, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, free-busy, calendaring, etc.

The decision to adopt Microsoft 365 as a collaboration service was made by the Executive Board.

This e-mail is to inform you of this change and what is changing for you.

What’s new?

  • On February 7th, a mailbox will be enabled for you in Microsoft 365. 
  • LISA will not migrate data from Google Apps for Education to Microsoft 365.
  • From this date, all new e-mails sent to your @student.utwente.nl address will be delivered to this new mailbox only.
  • The webmail URL will from then on be https://outlook.office.com

What will change for your Google Apps for Education account?

  • Your current Google Apps for Education mailbox and documents will remain available until 1st July 2022. Use this time to make a copy of your data to your own storage disk or OneDrive.
  • You may continue to send reply mail from Google Docs – this mail will still have @student.utwente.nl as sender address. Any responses will be sent to your new Microsoft 365 mailbox.

We advise you to: after the transfer to Microsoft 365, use your Microsoft 365 mailbox as quickly as possible as your standard.
