# 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**:
Open up Outlook or your preferred email client and log in to your UL student email account.
2. **Access the File Menu**:
Click on the "``File``" tab in the top left corner of Outlook.
![File Menu][3]
3. **Access Open * Export**:
In the left sidebar, click on "``Open & Export``".
![Open & Export][4]
4. **Export to a File**:
Click on "``Import/Export``" to open the Import and Export Wizard.
![Import/Export Wizard][5]
5. **Choose Export to a File**:
Select "``Export to a file``" and click "``Next``".
6. **Select File Type**:
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.
