Migrating Local Folders from Outlook

Determine if you have local folders

The first step you will need to take is to determine if you are currently using any local folders with outlook.  In the screenshot below, the Outlook Data File and Old Mail folders are local folders and if any emails were in them they would need to be uploaded back to the example@cabrillo.edu user's folder for email migration.
