is there any way to backup & archive email account content?

hi folks,

 

We have, through GoDaddy, a number of Microsoft Exchange email accounts.  In preparing to delete some of these accounts, we would like to archive the current account contents, so some past emails can be saved, searched and retrieved if needed.

 

is there any simple way of doing this?  i.e. even thru 3rd party software etc?

thanks for any hints or suggestions!

Roger

    Are these mailboxes in Exchange Online you get through GoDaddy? Generally shared mailboxes in Exchange Online don't require a license...so maybe investigate converting them the shared. Otherwise you can export them to PST (you'd need to do this via Outlook client) and store the PSTs somewhere.
