FAQ

  1. My laptop is at home and it is not connecting after the migration.
    • Option 1: Close Outlook, connect to the VPN, re-open Outlook.
    • Option 2: Remove your account and recreate it.

  2. What is the online archive?
    • Online Archive is a feature for Office 365 enterprise customers who have uncommonly large mailboxes. These customers can use an Online Archive to avoid deleting old mail. A user’s Online Archive acts somewhat like a second account in Outlook with its own folder structure. As a result, it is not included in searches performed from the Inbox.
  3. When Should I use my online archive?
    • We recommend using the online archive feature to keep your Inbox clear of messages you have already answered or acted on. Think of the Archive like a file folder. You can store items in the Archive folder and still access them easily.
  4. From where can I access my Online Archive?
    • From your computers Outlook you can access your “Online Archive” from the folder list

  5. How do I recover items I deleted?
    • Items deleted from your inbox are first placed into your deleted Items folder. They will stay here until they are manually deleted.
    • After items are removed from the “Deleted Items” folder, they are placed into the “Recover Deleted Items” folder. They will remain here until they are either purged or for a period of 30 days. To access the “Recover Deleted Items” folder follow the following steps:

      • Select the “Deleted Items” folder in your folder list.
      • Click on the “Recover Deleted Items from Server” button under the “Home” tab.
      • After items are purged from the “Recover Deleted Items” folder, they are gone permanently and can no longer be recovered.
      • IMPORTANT: There are no back-ups made to email in Office 365 so items that have been removed from your mailbox will not be able to be recovered.
