On [MONTH DD, YYYY], customers of [AFFILIATE NAME] will be changing to a new email system. We’re excited to be able to bring you the powerful features that come with Google Gmail through our email service. To make this transition as easy as possible we will be maintaining email on both systems until [MONTH DD2, YYYY]. However, we encourage you to switch over to the new system as quickly as possible.

Summary of Transition

On [MONTH DD] we will switch to the Gmail Webmail application. You will still be able to go to the old Webmail application, if needed, up until [MONTH DD2]. Also, if you use an email program to download mail to your PC, and want to continue to do so, you must change the settings in your email client. You can change your settings any time between [MONTH DD, YYYY] and [MONTH DD2, YYYY], but it would be best to do so as early as possible to minimize potential mail delivery issues. Again, beginning on [MONTH DD2, YYYY] you will be unable to access the old email system, so we encourage you to make the necessary changes as soon as possible.
