 Once your email is migrated you should see a new window stating that you are required to close and restart your email client. Make sure your username is in the UPN format(e.g. Joseph Student = jstudent@olin.edu) not listed as domain\username (e.g. Joseph Student = olin.edu\jstudent). ​  You will have to do this on all your email clients. If you have additional mailboxes configured in Outlook that haven’t been migrated, you will likely be prompted to login again via a popup window. ​ This is because you need to authenticate to the two different mail locations, our systems on campus and the cloud. Once your email is migrated you should see a new window stating that you are required to close and restart your email client.
