Don't friggin' delete the departing users' mailboxes! See: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxb.htm

User's leave and then a few months later an Attorney will need something out of that mailbox for a case and we'll have to restore it. Or, we have to restore folders or pieces of mail that a user deleted accidently. It's actually quite nice to be able to do this when it works.
