# UL Email Backup
|
||||
|
||||
After you graduate, your UL student email account will be deactivated.
|
||||
There's a decent chance that you'll need access to the emails in that account at some point in the future, so it's a good idea to back them up before you lose access.
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend exporting your emails before your account is deactivated, which happens shortly after graduation (approximately 3 months).
|
||||
You can export your emails from Outlook, which is the official email client for UL student accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
Outlook has two modes, New Outlook and Classic Outlook.
|
||||
As of the time of writing, New Outlook does not support exporting emails, so you will need to use Classic Outlook to back up your emails.
|
||||
If you already use Classic Outlook, you can skip the following section and go straight to [Backup Email][0].
|
||||
|
||||
## Switching to Classic Outlook
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Open Outlook**:
|
||||
Launch the Outlook application on your computer.
|
||||
2. **Access the ``Help`` Tab**:
|
||||
Click on the ``Help`` tab in the top left taskbar.
|
||||
![Outlook Help Bar][1]
|
||||
3. **Switch to Classic Outlook**:
|
||||
In the ``Help`` tab, click on "``Switch to Classic Outlook``".
|
||||
4. **Confirm the Switch**:
|
||||
If prompted, confirm that you want to switch to Classic Outlook by clicking ``Skip Feedback``.
|
||||
![Switch to Classic Outlook][2]
|
||||
5. **Done!**:
|
||||
Outlook will close, and then reopen in Classic mode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Backup Email
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Log in to your UL Student Email**:
|
||||

|
||||

||||
Click on the "``File``" tab in the top left corner of Outlook.
|
||||

|
||||
In the left sidebar, click on "``Open & Export``".
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
Choose "``Outlook Data File (.pst)``" and click "``Next``".
|
||||
![Export to Outlook Data File][6]
|
||||
7. **Select the Folder to Export**:
|
||||
Choose the folder you want to back up (e.g., "``Inbox``") and ensure "``Include subfolders``" is checked.
|
||||
Click "``Next``"
|
||||
![Select Folder to Export][7]
|
||||
8. **Choose the Destination**:
|
||||
Click "``Browse``" to select where you want to save the exported file.
|
||||
Choose a location on your computer and give the file a name (e.g., "UL_Student_Email_Backup.pst").
|
||||
Click "``Finish``".
|
||||
![Choose Destination][8]
|
||||
9. **Set a Password (Optional)**:
|
||||
You can set a password for the PST file if you want to protect it.
|
||||
If you don't want to set a password, just click "``OK``".
|
||||
![Set Password][9]
|
||||
10. **Backup Complete**:
|
||||
Your UL student email will now be backed up to the specified file.
|
||||
You can access this file later using Outlook or import it into another email client.
