There's a decent chance that you'll need access to the emails in that account at some point in the future,

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
