Mail exchange migration

Updated Sep 15th, 2021 at 15:28 BST

General information:
#

What will happen?

We’ll be transferring all the email accounts and all the emails in them to another platform. This is required due to the change of the Data Canter.

What will be transferred?

We are expecting everything to be migrated including address books, calendars etc.

When will this happen?

The migration will take place on the 20th of September.

What should you do?

- If your domain is using any of our nameservers, no DNS changes will be required from your end. We’ll be making those changes on your behalf once the migration is done.
- If the active DNS zone of the domain is external, there are a couple of changes that need to be performed on your end:
*You’ll need to updated your MX record to cluster1.exchange.outitgoes.com
*You’ll need to update your SPF record to “v=spf1 mx a ip4:79.170.40.196 include:secureserver.net ~all”
*You’ll need to update the Autodiscover CNAME record to cluster1.exchange.outitgoes.com
You can ask the company where you purchased your domain for help with the changes.

Will any credentials change?

No, your credentials will remain the same. Please make sure you have the correct password prior to the migration. You can check this by trying to enter https://mail.hostedpg.com
If you are not sure what your password is, please contact our support lines, so we can assist you before the migration takes place.

What will the new URL for the webmail be?

Once the migration takes place, you will be able to enter your email accounts from the following link: https://cluster1.exchange.outitgoes.com

How to connect to different email clients?
