Exchange Account & E-mail

Once a campus-wide Exchange account is created, when does it begin to receive e-mail?

A newly created campus-wide Exchange mailbox will *immediately* begin to receive mail.

Any mail *from* an individual on the campus-wide Exchange server - sent *to* the above @purdue.edu email address - will now be delivered to the newly created Exchange mailbox.

(A message sent from Exchange - to an individual on Exchange - does *not* leave the Exchange server. It will *not* be processed by the user's Purdue Electronic Directory entry.)

New users to the campus-wide Exchange server, must be *immediately* informed the Exchange mailbox has been created, since the account will begin to receive mail.
