Deleted mailbox seach in archive
We're running EmailXtender v4.81.2031 and archiving from MS Exchange 2007. We would like to do the following when someone leaves the company:
- Download forner employee's email to PST
- Delete the Active Directory account
- Delete the Exchange mailbox
Given that the employee's email has been archived is it possible to still search the archive for the email once we delete the mailbox?

Thanks you for your response. It was helpfull. I found the answer here https://community.emc.com/message/364526#364526. Use the cannonical form in the EmailXtender Search plug-in.

This can be done though it is a manual process. You will need to run a SQL query on the EmailXtender database. The SQL query example is below
select * from EmailAddress where EmailAddress like '%user%'
Replace the user with the user you are searching for
You will get an SMTP canonical name from the query. For example
/o=First Organization/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=user;user@domain.com
You will need to use this address in order to find all emails for the user. This will contain all associated emails for that user.
It would be easier if you made an OU and placed the mailbox there and after the user has left run a search against the mailbox and export to PST. Once the export is done disable the mailbox for a specified amount of time say 90 days and if no more request are made delete it. Of course you can use the above process if this is not an option.
