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.

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.
   
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.
   
5. Done!:
   Outlook will close, and then reopen in Classic mode.
