Overall pretty good but a few minor changes required.

Ye can sue nix develop then mkdocs serve to render it locally for testing.

				# UL Student Account Email Backup in Outlook

				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,

Stop manually breaking sentances.
In markdown if ye want to go to a new line in a paragraph ye need to use

Manually breaking sentances may make it look ok on yer device, but for any device with a different screen width it has issues.

You are referring to there's a decent chance that you'll need access to the emails in that account at some point in the future, right, at the comma?

				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 6 months).

Same as the title in that its pretty long with not much gain.
Headers are used for teh (right) sidebar for navigation within a document, too long causes it to get messy.

Consider:
