How do I save all of my Outlook Folders?

From the Law School :

While on the Capital University Law School campus, you can use the computer lab to save your Outlook folders:

1. Open Outlook and

2. Choose File > Import & Export > Export to a File.

3. Choose how you would like to save the information. If you plan to simply transfer this information back into Outlook, save as a Personal Folder File. Then choose the folders you wish to save. Be sure to save each folder individually. 

4. Save these folders to disk, CD etc.

From Home, Work , etc.:

If you are unable to come to the Law School, you can save these files by adding your Capital University Law School email account as a POP3 email on your home or work email system.  Microsoft's helpdesk recommends the following instructions:

Do one of the following:

Add an e-mail account

1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.

If you don't see the E-mail Accounts command:

The E-mail Accounts command is on the Tools menu in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Outlook 2002. If you are using an earlier version of Outlook, the following instructions do not apply. Outlook 2000, Outlook 98, and Outlook 97 were released before Microsoft started posting its online Help topics for viewing on the Internet. Therefore, your best opportunity for finding written help is to use the Help that is included within those products.

2. Select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.

3. Select the e-mail server used for your account, and then click Next.

Note: If you are setting up an MSN e-mail account, click POP3 for MSN Internet Access version 5.3 or earlier, for MSN Explorer, click HTTP.

4. In the appropriate boxes, type the information given to you by your Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) or administrator.

Notes:

If you are using an MSN or MSN Hotmail account, use the Outlook Connector for MSN , which provides more reliable access to your e-mail messages, as well as your calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes attached to your account.

Unless your ISP has indicated that your service uses Secure Password Authentication (SPA), do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.

Unless specified by your ISP, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters. Some ISPs require a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters for passwords to add further security. For example, passWorD. Check with your ISP to see if it requires a case-sensitive password. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

You have the option of having Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. While this means that you won't have to type in your password each time you access the account, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.

5. Do any of the following:

If you are adding a Microsoft Exchange Server account, click Check Names to verify that the server recognizes your name. The name and server you entered should become underlined. Be sure your computer is connected to your network. If your name does not become underlined, contact your administrator.

If you are adding a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) server account, click Test Account Settings to verify that your account is working. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be prompted to supply or correct it. Be sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

6. If you want to configure additional settings, such as how you want your computer to connect to your e-mail server, click More Settings. Otherwise, click Next.

7. Click Finish.

Can I keep my Law School Email Address?

Your current, student email address MAY be yours to keep. Your current mailbox on the Capital University Law School server IS NOT.  Therefore, to keep your email address, you must provide us with a current email address where you would like all mail sent to you THROUGH your current @law.capital.edu address.  For example, your student email address was jschmoe@law.capital.edu.  You have set up a yahoo account of jdoe@yahoo.com.  You can log on to the Law School alumni site here: http://www.law.capital.edu/Alumni/DirectoryUpdates.asp

to register for email forwarding, so anything sent to jdoe@law.capital.edu is automatically sent to jdoe@yahoo.com.  If you do NOT provide us with an email address to forward to, your jdoe@law.capital.edu address will be thrown back "into the hopper" for future students to use and you will lose it.

If you are a recent graduate who is registered for the LLM program this fall, your email address and Outlook folders remain untouched, as you are still considered a current student of the Law School .
