Outlook for Macintosh has a default folder list, labeled On My Computers, that will store messages and other email account data on your Mac's hard drive instead of in your "cloud" CUIMC email/Microsoft 365 storage space.
NOTE: If you use "New" Outlook, it may not yet allow for using On My Computer folders, please see this FAQ for more information. To revert to legacy Outlook for the time being, select Help - Revert to Legacy Outlook from Outlook's upper menu.
Otherwise, if you do not see On My Computer folders in Outlook please follow these steps to view them.
- With Outlook open, click on the main drop down menu (Outlook in the upper left) and select Preferences.
- Select the General icon under the Personal Settings heading.
- De-check the options to Group similar folders... and Hide On My Computer folders.
- You will now see the On My Computer heading in the left Mail folder pane of Outlook. You may need to scroll down to find them, and click on the triangle to the left of the heading to expand and view subfolders.
To move items between different folders you can simply drag and drop. Keep in mind that items in the On My Computer folders will not appear in Web Outlook or when accessing your CUIMC email on a different computer or mobile device, however you can manually move or copy them back if needed.
