Introduction
This document takes you through the process of migrating mail from your current mail
account to your new Business Email Account hosted by TELUS. When migrating mailboxes,
your users can follow the steps outlined in the Outlook Migration section. Alternatively,
customer administrators can choose to migrate mailboxes for their users using the
Administrator Migration section of the control panel.
Administrator MigrationWhat You Need to Get Started.In order to migrate the mail in your old mail account to your new account you will need:
■ Your TELUS account ID: Your account ID was e-mailed to the address you gave TELUS
prior to ordering service and is also listed on your work order. If you are unable to locate
your account ID, please call 1 877 846 4456 for help.
■ A copy of your existing users’ .PST files. You will need to ensure that your users have
been added to the UC Management Centre with Business Email and have logged into
that mailbox for the first time.
■ An FTP client or understanding of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). If you do not have an
FTP client, you can download one of the freely available clients from the web (i.e. Filezilla).
The User Interface allows Exchange Service Administrators to import and export Exchange
mailboxes. This process involves the mailbox being saved as a PST file and saved on a FTP
server for export/import.
To access the Mailbox Import & Export screen, select from the main menu – Services >
Exchange > Mailbox Import/Export.
The screen will display the user’s FTP logon details for logging onto the server where the
exported mailboxes will be saved. This directory will also contain the Import folder where
mailboxes that are to be imported onto a Cortex user should be saved.
The screen is split into two sections:
■ Export Mailboxes — select this link to export any of your users mailboxes.
■ Import Mailboxes — select this link to import an mailbox PST file into an existing
Exchange user’s Mailbox.

Update.

be displayed beside the customer in the Last Import field. To view how the import process is
progressing, select Refresh Status.

status will change to green. When the user logs onto their email system, they will be able to

Change DNS Settings and Update MX Records.
You need to update your DNS records to point to TELUS in order for your domain name to
work with your TELUS account. Where you make these changes depends on who you want
to maintain them:
■ If TELUS hosts your DNS refer to 1.1 Add Autodiscover CNAME record to DNS Records
via the TELUS UC Management Centre.
If you’d like to transfer your DNS Record Control to TELUS for Management, contact
support at 1 877 846 4456 and have a representative configure your account to have
TELUS host your domain.
■ If you’d like to continue to have your Domain Registration Company Manage your Domain
Records (Recommended Method) refer to 1.2 Change DNS Settings and Update MX
Records via Your Domain Registration Company.
Note
Please refer to WHOIS service to find your DNS server provider/administrator.
For example www.kloth.net.
1.1 Add Autodiscover CNAME Record to DNS Records via the TELUS UC Management Centre.

Contact your domain registration company and request that they change the list of records as
shown in the following table:
Notes
Replace domainname in the source strings in the table above with your company domain name.
Due to the distributed nature of DNS, it will take several days for the DNS changes to redirect.
The time it takes to redirect is usually 2 days, but it can be as long as 7-10. During this time,
your mail may be delivered to either the old email server that used to serve your domain(s) or
the new Exchange server mailboxes.
