Getting yourself a new email address with Outlook is pretty easy, but how do you go about getting all of your old emails to your new inbox? It can be a bit of a daunting task, especially if you’ve had your old address for a long time. Luckily help is at hand, and we’ve got this step-by-step instructions to show you how to do it.
