Dartmouth's E-mail System is Changing. 

Microsoft Online Services, known at Dartmouth as "Blitz," is currently replacing Dartmouth’s “BlitzMail” email system as the College's primary service for e-mail, calendar, and collaboration tools. Microsoft Online Services also provides document sharing, video and web conferencing, and 10GB of storage for each user. Microsoft’s strong commitment to privacy for users and information security for the institution was a key factor in the decision to select Microsoft over Google and other services.

The Blitz-2-Blitz Project is currently migrating Dartmouth departments and classes on a scheduled basis. Please follow these steps to ensure a successful migration:

Make sure BlitzMail folder names contain only letters, numbers, and/or spaces — special characters (such as punctuation, diactric marks, hyphens, ampersands, or underscores) can cause problems.

Rename any BlitzMail folders entitled just "notes," just “contacts," or just "drafts." These words with other words ⎯ e.g., "Meeting Notes" ⎯ are fine.

Open each BlitzMail folder (including Inbox, Sent Messages), click "Size" to view largest to smallest e-mails, and remove (store on your own hard drive) any attachments that are greater than 35 MB (35,000K), so that the accompanying messages will migrate.

Watch for e-mail updates for specific times of your migration date. During these times you must log out of any applications that access your BlitzMail account.

Have a mobile device (smartphone, iPad, etc.)? Delete your profile/account from this device before your migration date (watch e-mail updates for specific time). Simply turning off your device isn't sufficient! Set up the device after your migration is complete.

Other Information You Should Know About Blitz Migration:

Existing e-mail messages and mailing lists will migrate to the new Blitz.

Once your account moves, use your NetID (Dartmouth ID preceded by the letter "D") to log in to systems instead of your user name.

Your new primary Dartmouth e-mail address will be your current e-mail address. Students will have your class year or professional school code attached, e.g., jane.a.doe.13@dartmouth.edu or jane.a.doe.GR@dartmouth.edu.

If you currently use the BlitzMail program on your computer, you'll need to use a different program (Outlook 2010/2011, AppleMail, web browser) to access the new Blitz system.
