You can transfer email from UW to Gmail (see the procedure below).
With Microsoft Office Outlook 2016, you can manage your emails and add multiple accounts, including Gmail and Yahoo Mail, to Outlook. Outlook 2016 is a flexible program, so you can move or copy mail from its folders to any of your accounts. For example, if you have important email in your Outlook folders, you can export it to your Gmail account and access the messages from anywhere, as long as you can access the Gmail account.
1. Launch Outlook 2016. Click "File" and then click the "Add Account" button in the menu to open the Add New Account window. If not on your personal computer, you may access Outlook 2016 through the UW Student Remote Lab System: http://microlab.uwyo.edu/uwsremote/
2. Type your name in the "Your Name" box. Type your Gmail address in the "E-mail Address" box. Enter your password in the "Password" and "Retype Password" boxes.
3. Click "Next" to add the Gmail account to Outlook. The account settings are automatically configured in Outlook.
4. Click "Finish" to close the wizard. Your Gmail account appears in the left pane; all its folders are displayed. Recommend creating a folder in the Gail account by right-clicking on the [Gmail] folder in the Gmail account in Outlook. Then select “New Folder”, choose a name.
5. Select the Outlook folder from which you want to export mail. For example, click "Inbox" to view all email in that folder in the right pane.
6. Select the mail that you want to export. Press and hold "Ctrl" and then click on the messages to select multiple items, or press "Ctrl-A" to select all messages.
7. Right-click one of the emails, select "Move" and then choose "Copy to Folder" from the menu.
