Outsourcing student email

We are currently in the planning stages of moving student email from our MS Exchange system to Microsoft's Exchange Labs (live@edu). We know that many other schools have done this to either Microsoft or Google. We are wondering how other schools have transitioned current students from one email address to another. Exchange does not make it easy to forward mail from the old address to the new. If we keep the old address operational for several months after creating the new address this will provide time to transition (let the world know that his/her email address is changing as of a certain date) but also force the students to check 2 addresses for a while. Thanks for any ideas you might have.
