I am changing jobs and my access to my old email will end on July 31. I want to download or somehow save all my inbox and subfolders, my entire mailbox, before then. I have permission from administration to do so, but technically do not know how.

How do I do this?

    Hi Matt. Thank you for coming to the forum. My name is Femi. It is worth noting that this is a user community, and we are all users here, much like yourself. While we strive to assist and share insights, we are not Microsoft directly.

    To back up your email data, please follow the steps below:

    Open Outlook. Go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Select Export to a file, and then click Next. Choose Outlook Data File (.pst), and click Next. Select the mail folder (such as your inbox and subfolders) you want to back up, and click Next. Choose a location and name for your backup file (PST file), and then click Finish. Optionally, add a password to encrypt the PST file for security, and click OK.
