      Yes i have a process i want to follow too but cant.
      3 years after people have not worked here, they still have an email and i think it is stupid AF.

      Indeed, it is stupid af. Easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

        1. Sign up all the defunct addresses for catfacts, and then forward the account to their former boss
        2. Protest innocence
        3. ?????
        4. Profit

                  As soon as the person leaves we backup account to PST and then archive it. THat's all then remove the AD account. No services should be tied to the account.

                      Random, literally still faxing, cat pics to random numbers on a dialer.

                          Depending on who or which department, I archive their entire O365 account (email, calendar, etc) into a PST file.

                          I've been doing this via:

                          Exchange Admin > compliance management > in-place eDiscovery & hold > Click the + button > follow the wizard.

                          Use IE or Edge.

                          You are able to download the entire account to a .PST archive it locally, to tape, or do what you want with it.

                            Or you can convert them to a shared mailbox (Free) 🙂

                              Waste of time and space and emails never stop coming in.

                                I mean in Office 365 not on in-house Exchange, it is a flip of a button. Unless I am missing something else (This is not practical to other Exchange deployments, only to Office 365).

                                  and where is that email going? Who's looking at the old message, responding to the new?
