FAQ

Archiving Your Bryn Mawr College Email

Archiving email can be a challenge. Most email either resides within a program on your computer or in a server on the Internet, depending on which email system you use.

Either way you have to find where your email resides, download it -- if you can -- and make a backup copy.

Email resides either:

1.    Locally on your computer, where you open a program to access it, or

2.    Remotely on your email host’s website, where you open a browser and navigate to a website to access it or configure an email client to access it
