Important Mentions

Important things to note when deleting a mailbox:

  • After deleting a mailbox, it will not be possible to retrieve any of the data that was previously backed up.
  • If when hovering over the user and selecting "More" you only have the option to deactivate the mailbox, this would mean that you are using an archiving subscription. For more information on deactivating a mailbox, please refer to this document.
