Hi Brian,
We just moved to o365 a couple weeks ago.  We selected some key staff members 
for E3 licenses; we applied Microsoft's "In Place Hold" for these folks.  I'm 
using E1 licenses for the rest of the staff, and they can delete or not as 
needed from their own perspective.  
I still need to inform the E1's that once deleted, the email is only 
retrievable for a limited time - not like our old system where we could go back 
a couple years using our in-house backups.  (Of course, I did immediately 
inform the E3's that their email will not be fully delete-able.)

When a staff person leaves, we grab a pst of their mail and hold it for two 
years.  Now that they can grow their mailbox to 50GB and beyond (for the E3's), 
that will not be fun.  But I'll worry about that when the time comes...
Rebecca

Oh, I consulted our legal team in 2009 when building our retention policy, I¹m 
just curious as to what others do based on their needs. Thanks for the link!
