Transferring Personal Emails from UTHSC to Another Email

The easiest way to transfer email is to forward it to your personal email account.

However, if you have a large number of emails, there is an alternative way to transfer. For this to work, you must have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer and configured to view your Microsoft 365 mail. If you do not have Exchange configured in Outlook on your PC- see this article first:

1. Open Outlook and click on “File”, then “Account Settings”. 
2. The “Email Accounts” window will appear.  Click on the “New” button.
3. Outlook will ask you for the e-mail address of the account you want to add.  Put in the full email address of the account you want to add.
4. It will then ask for the password.  Enter that as well.
5. Outlook will determine how to connect to the outside account and add it.
6. Get out of Account Settings and look at your email Folder List in Outlook.
7. Find the section that has your newly added account in it.
8. At this point, you can drag messages between your UTHSC Exchange account and the newly added account. Click on the folder or email and drag it so that it falls in or under the account you created.
9. It might be a good idea to create a folder under your outside account that says “UTHSC” or something similar so you know where the messages have been placed.
