Overview

You can download the entire mailbox, contact list, and calendar as zipped folders or download individual emails, mailbox folders, contacts, contact groups, and calendars. Download helps you to gain access to emails in case of accidental deletion. You can also use Search to find and download specific emails easily.

Following is the file naming convention of any file that you download from the search results:

SearchResults-<Date stamp>, <Time stamp>.<file extension of the compressed file format>


❗ Important

If your administrator has configured the 'Recoverable Items' folder for backup, you can restore deleted emails, contacts, and calendar items.
