Preparation
- You will need a secure Windows PC that has all updates applied - for staff in UAS and GLAM we recommend a managed staff PC
- To access a mailbox export you will need a licensed version of MS Outlook 2016 or newer
- You should have been given a USB drive and BitLocker passphrase, or a OneDrive sharing link
- You may have been given one or more PST or ZIP file passphrases
Method 2 - Access export via USB drive
Use this method if you have been given a USB drive containing the exported data. You should also have been given a BitLocker passphrase.
- Insert the USB drive into a secure Windows PC that has all updates applied
- Double-click on the USB drive and enter the BitLocker passphrase to open it (for more details see How to Open Bitlocker Encrypted USB Drive on Another Computer (wikihow.com))
- Copy the contents of the USB drive to a local folder on your PC such as My Documents
Method 3 - Access export via OneDrive
Use this method if you have been given access to a OneDrive share containing the exported data.
- Check that you are confident that the OneDrive link was supplied to you by a member of University staff that you know, and from whom you had requested a Nexus365 export
- Visit the OneDrive link and download / copy the PST and/or ZIP files to a local folder on your PC such as My Documents
Method 4 - Open ZIP and PST files
You will need to repeat this for each ZIP file if the export has resulted in multiple data extracts. Each ZIP file will contain either a set of folders and files (OneDrive export) or one or more PST files (mailbox export).
- Right-click on the ZIP file, choose Extract All... and follow the instructions. We recommend that you select Browse and create a local folder on your PC to extract the files into, so you can find them easily
- Enter the ZIP file passphrase if prompted for one
PST files can be opened in Outlook.
