# 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``.
|

|
