On the Emails step in the Upload Portal, select Outlook (Microsoft, Hotmail).
Step 2: Sign in with Microsoft
Enter your email address on the Microsoft sign-in screen and click Next.
Step 3: Click Accept
Click Accept to grant the Upload Portal access to your email.
Start importing emails
After authenticating, the portal confirms your account is connected and presents two collection methods: search for individual emails or import in bulk.
