Upcoming mail server upgrade notification

[LMI Internet]

Dear LMi.net mail customer:

You are receiving this notice because you have an account on our main  
mail server, pop.lmi.net

We have been working for several months on an overhaul of our email  
servers. These new servers are much faster, have complete redundancy,  
and have a greatly improved webmail interface.

During the next few weeks, we will be migrating your mail account over  
to the new servers. Here's the good news: You don't have to do  
anything! (in most cases...) All of the settings in your email client  
software can stay the same.

You will receive another email from us when your mail account has  
actually been moved.

The main difference you will notice when your account has been moved  
is in our new webmail interface (https://webmail.lmi.net).
The new webmail software (SquirrelMail) will allow you to:

-change your password
-set up your own vacation message
-create mail filters on the server (instead of in your email client  
software)
-customize SpamAssassin settings
-and much more....

We have created a FAQ page that attempts to answer most of the  
questions you might have:

  	http://www.lmi.net/faq/squirrelmail.php

There are a few other things to note:

-All mailboxes will have SpamAssassin enabled by default. If you do  
not want SpamAssassin enabled, you can easily turn it off from the web  
interface.
(see http://www.lmi.net/faq/squirrelmail.php#q8 )

-If you have customized SpamAssassin in any way, such as adding  
whitelisted email addresses, you will need to re-enter these.  
Fortunately, the new web interface makes this quick and easy.   (see http://www.lmi.net/faq/squirrelmail.php#q10 
  )

-We have tried our best to move over any address books from the old  
webmail server over to the new one. However, the data fields in the  
two programs do not match exactly. It's possible some data from the  
old address book will not be moved over. If you have created an  
address book in webmail, and use it to store information such as  
street address and phone numbers, we recommend that you export this  
data to your computer so you will have a backup copy.

-By default, all mailboxes come with a 100MB disk quota. This is twice  
as large as the previous quota. There is a status bar in the upper  
left of the webmail interface showing how much of your quota is being  
used.


Thanks!

-The staff at LMi.net
