39 Create and Manage Inactive Mailbox in Microsoft 365 | Exchange Online

Microsoft 365 Exchange Online Video Series:
This is a step by step video on How to Create and manage inactive mailboxes using Microsoft 365 Compliance Center web interface. We will use Microsoft 365 retention to apply the hold on the mailbox.

Inactive mailboxes let you retain former employees' email after they leave your organization and can be accessed by authorized people who have been granted eDiscovery permissions for compliance or legal reasons.

The contect is really great! Thank you very much. However to be able to search in inactive Mailboxes there is eDiscovery role needed, right?

question, whats best way to migrate user mailbox & onedrive from his old account to new account?

[saijuu]

Why to do this many steps for a resigned user ? Just reset outlook password and take the pst backup from OL client App and delete the user straight away from O365 admin center.

Instead of clicking on Information governance on my version of Office 365 I had to click on Data lifestyle management so perhaps MS has updated the menu since this video was uploaded
