Once your mailbox becomes available, your incoming queued mail will be delivered to that mailbox. |

| Note: You may see old emails that you've deleted, appearing in your inbox marked as "unread". These emails were probably deleted from your Inbox and added to your Trash. However, if the Trash was not emptied prior to the migration then those emails were copied over. They are not duplicates or an indication of any further or ongoing issue. Simply delete them again. You can empty the Trash or not, after. That only affected the Migration and not normal operation. |

| E-mail profiles are what Outlook (or other client) uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information: What account information to use: This information includes the user name, display name, e-mail server name, and Internet service provider (ISP) account password. Where the e-mail data is delivered and stored: In Outlook, data is delivered and stored either on the e-mail server or a in .pst file on your computer. This data includes rules, messages, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, Search Folders, and other settings.

| Outlook e-mail profiles are stored in the Windows registry. When Outlook starts, it retrieves the profile information from the registry. |
