Will my Outlook settings carry over?

Some things will carry over; some things will need to be set up again. Please see below for more information.

Outlook themes and preferences: 
You will need to set these again. For example, font size, conversation mode, focussed inbox, etc. These can be adjusted by clicking the settings cog in the top right corner, then use the tabs on the left labelled "General", "Mail", etc. For detailed instructions, use the Microsoft Support centre here for Focused inbox, Conversations, Dark Mode, Appearance, etc.

Email Signature:
You will need to recreate your email signature. The simplest way is to go to your sent items, find your existing signature, and copy/paste it in. For detailed instructions on setting your email signature, click here

Mailbox Rules:
Mailbox rules are copied across (for example, move all emails with subject "hello" to a folder called "hello"). Any rules that previously applied to sender address ending @sa.scouts.com.au may need to be edited and re-saved.
