Exporting email from Outlook - macOS
- Dan Jakubiak
Students leaving the university may want to export their emails and calendar data. They should follow this guide to learn how to do so.
Faculty and staff need to consider the regulations and policies that may apply to data when making data transfer decisions. Bulk transfer of data for which the university has responsibility under policy, law, regulation, or contractual obligation must be handled appropriately. Examples include, FERPA data, research data, business operations data, financial aid data, and personally identifiable data.
Faculty and staff should consult with their department head or supervisor regarding any data they wish to take with them upon separation.
Possible Alternate Method
Users may try adding a second email account to their Outlook App. Once both inboxes are visible in the app, users can click-and-drag email messages/chains between the two inboxes to copy them over. This is a useful method if you do not wish to save the entire mailbox.
