One week before departure up until the penultimate day:

1. Move all folders and emails in your Exchange account (username@mit.edu or username@exchange.mit.edu) to the local "On My Mac" section on the left column list. All emails placed on "On My Mac" are local to the machine and will enable us to easily migrate these emails from your Mac account to the new employee's account. This means that they're no longer in your Exchange email and only on the Mac. Their presence in this location makes it easy for us to grab the folders and emails and copy them to a new user account for set up in the new employee's emailForward or save as file any emails that the supervisor wants saved for the replacement employee.
2. Create a folder on your Mac's Desktop called "Files To New Employee" and put any and all files/or folders you would like your replacement to have into that folder.
3. If you have any files in Dropbox that belong to your DLC, ask your supervisor how they would like those files preserved.
