tl;dr: How do I backup my contacts from my phone to something that is not my current Microsoft account?
Long version:
At some point in the past few years, my school decided to change their email system to use Live@edu. As near as I could tell at the time, this turned our email into something Microsoft-related.
When I got my first Windows Phone (7; Samsung Focus), and it asked me for a Microsoft account, I entered my school email address. Things worked great.
About two years later, I got a new Windows Phone (8; Lumia 920), and continued to use my school email account as my Microsoft account, since that's where my contacts were saved.
Now, earlier this month, I've received notice that my school is going to deactivate my email account. I want to be able to save the contacts that I've added over the years, but when I log in to the web-based interface, I can't find anything that would let me export my contacts. I've Googled for ideas on how to do this, but the articles I've found all seem to be out of date.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can export/save my contacts - either from my phone directly, or from my email account - so that I won't lose them when my school deactivates my account?
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
