When the migrated accounts were set up, our files were copied from our old
shell directories.  So far, so good.  But some of us have modified files
here (or added new files) since then.  One example is incoming mail
getting saved into mbox files.

What will be done about those new or modified files?  Will we get a few
days' notice after mail is redirected and before the old shell accounts
are shut down so we can do any last-minute file salvage?  Or will staff
copy any new or modified files across?

If staff copies the files, they should go into a new directory or an
archive file or something so as not to overwrite any existing files in our
migrated directories.
