Export Lit-Hold O365 mailbox to PST...

I need to export a users office 365 (ExchOnline) mailbox to a PST before deleting the account.

I believe that I can export a mailbox to a PST via EAC > Compliance Management > In-Place eDiscovery & hold

Question, the user is on Litigation Hold in Exchange Online. So when exporting the mailbox to PST, will it contain all the dumpster and lit-hold contents also?

Thanks,

Why delete the account? Do you need to free up a license?

Are you aware that you can place a mailbox on hold and remove the account or license and the mailbox will be retained indefinitely? Then you don't need to export to PST. Or you can convert the user mailbox to a shared mailbox and then remove the license.

Yes, it will be.

You can also do a demo against one test mailbox to confirm it.

Furthermore, get help from below links:
