Overview
Migrating email from UW Office 365 to a personal email account is a manual process. This guide uses the Outlook email client provided as part of UW Office 365 ProPlus to facilitate the manual migration. If you don’t already have Outlook, you can download it using the link below.
Before migrating email, please review the UW Appropriate Use page and note that while UW Office 365 is HIPAA- and FERPA-compatible, personal email accounts are not.

Once both accounts are configured in Outlook, you can copy email folders between the accounts within Outlook to migrate email between the two. Moving folders can be unreliable, so copying folders is strongly recommended.
