Account Deletion Checklist (retiring)

Please review the following checklist prior to requesting an ITaP Exchange account be deleted for someone retiring from Purdue University:

If an individual is retiring from the university, their departmental business office may file a "Request for Privileges" with Human Resource Services. By remaining in the Purdue Electronic Directory, the retiree may choose to "store" or "forward" mail for their @purdue.edu email address.

    Please see the checklist below:
    1. Be sure they know their directory password.

      Please note: They will need this to read mail, modify their directory entry at a later date should they change ISP's, or decide to establish an e-mail account.

    2. Are they going to continue to read email after retirement? No? Yes? Where - Mailhub or ISP?
      1. No e-mail - have them set the "service" field of their directory entry to "reject". (They do not need have a "Request for Privileges" form filed in their behalf.)
      2. Mailhub - have them set the "service" field of their directory entry to "store"
      3. ISP - have them set their "service" field of their directory entry to "forward" to their ISP email address


    3. Request all email address be removed from their ITaP Exchange account. Send the request to:

      To: exchange-admin@purdue.edu
      Subject: rm e-addr (alias)

      Please note: This will stop all incoming mail to their Exchange account.

    4. If they have set their directory entry to "store" or "forward" email - request they login to their ITaP Exchange account and "forward" any personal mail they wish to keep to their directory entry.


    5. Once they have completed any needed access to their Exchange account, request the deletion of their ITaP Exchange account. Send the request to:

      To: exchange-admin@purdue.edu
      Subject: rm exchg-acct (alias)
