A question just occurred to me:  I get my Best email by logging into my
shell account.  I'm worried that if the migration happens at a time when I
haven't checked email lately, I may find myself unable to log in with no
way of finding out what I need to do to log into the migrated account.  
Is this problem being anticipated and will some kind of workaround be set
up?

One idea might be to have login attempts on the old account give some kind
of error message that points the user to the necessary info.  Another
might be to CC any crucial migratory email to a non-Best address (see
sig).

What is being done about this?
