Obviously, if you have the archive mailbox in a different database with different retention times, then the archive can be available to be reattached in a different window to the primary. <br />

Greetings. &nbsp;After a set period of time, we export users' e-mail to a .PST, then remove them from Exchange/AD with the remove-mailbox command in ps.<br />
<br />
We just started using personal archives (&quot;online&quot; archiving, as MS describes it).<br />
<br />
Question: &nbsp;does the remove-mailbox command also delete/remove the archive mailbox for the user ?<br />
<br />
Thanks much.<br />

The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
