Announcement, October2016
Following a recent meeting of RECLOs, it has been decided to discontinue the maintenance of old email addresses (xxx@aa-email.org.uk). Officers using one of these addresses should notify the administrator of the old system that they would like to migrate, by sending a message to
If the
officer is listed in the Confidential Directory, migration should take
place very soon thereafter. If the officer is not listed, then it may
take a short while to confirm that we are able to set up the new
address.
Full migration instructions will be given. A forwarder will be set up from the old address to the new, so there will be no ongoing need to look at the old mailbox.
Thereafter, any queries relating to the operation of the new addresses should be sent to the same address as that from which migration instructions were sent.
We anticipate that all migrations will be complete by the end of September, and the old system will be switched off six months after that.
Officers who do not currently have email addresses should apply for new ones, using the webform at:
