Email Migration
After completing studies at North Park, some students may want to transfer some personal emails or files to another email service.
Account access is limited to current and recent students. See also: Account Lifecycle Policies
Email Messages
Though the following instructions pertain to Gmail, they can be adapted to other email systems.
Open the desktop Outlook app.
Go to File and choose Add Account.
Input your personal email address and click Connect.
Follow instructions on the screen to sign into your personal email account.
Both your personal and your North Park email accounts should now be accessible from within Outlook. You can simply click and drag email messages from your Outlook folders into your personal email folders.
It is not recommended to move ALL emails and folders from your University email to a personal service. This can be time consuming and use a lot of data on a personal account. Please be selective and prudent about the information you keep in any email system. Please consider other ways to keep important or sensitive information for long-term storage.
