When you get your new Scouts Victoria mailbox, we recommend setting up an auto-reply on your old email address if you were using a shared personal email address like Gmail, telling people to contact the new Scouts Victoria email address.
Here's an example auto-reply message:
Hi there,
Thank you for your email. This email address is no longer being monitored.
Please reach us/me instead, at our Scouts Victoria email address: [example@scoutsvictoria.com.au]
I'll stop using this address on [date].
Thanks,
[Your Name / Group / Section]
If you have important emails in your old account that you'd like to keep, you can request to have them migrated to your new Scouts Victoria email address. Here's how:
- Submit a Support Ticket through the Scouts Victoria IT Helpdesk: [helpdesk.scoutsvictoria.com.au]
- In your ticket, clearly state that you'd like to migrate your old emails to your new Scouts Victoria account.
- Be sure to include both your old and new email addresses in the ticket.
- The IT team will respond with further instructions and may need some additional information to complete the migration process.
Getting help with your email
