Last night, my company performed a major e-mail upgrade and migration. This morning everyone within the company had spiffy functioning e-mail - everyone but me.
When I fired up my computer and opened my e-mail, my inbox had a grand total of 10 e-mails and none of them were older than 12:01 AM this morning. That was sort of thrilling - my inbox had gotten completely out of hand this week - it had 150 e-mails last night when I logged off. I usually try to keep my inbox down to a max of about ten e-mails. So, in a way, the 10 e-mails were a welcome sight.
I then checked my calendar - absolutely no appointments. And no contacts within my address book. Zip, zero, zilch, nada. It was as if I had been wiped of the face of the earth. Which gives one a bit of a goose on the liberating front. I'm free! I'm free!
However, I came to my senses and called in the helpdesk. After much research, we figured out that the migration process must not have completed. All my old e-mail, contacts, and calendars made it to their new location. However, the old e-mail box was not deleted. As a result, the Exchange server is confused - sometimes it will direct incoming mail to my old email box and sometimes the mail gets directed to my new box. And of course, we can't do anything simple like blow away my old e-mail box - the system won't allow that. So, the tech boys will research the issue over the weekend and I have a mechanism that will allow me to keep track of the mail in both boxes.
Life certainly is complicated.
UPDATE: at 10:30 PM, our ace tech guy (on his own time) started working on my account(s) and within a few minutes, all was well. All my e-mails were now happy to be in one location - the correct location!
