Keep All Email for Two Years

Hi All,

I am in a hybrid environment with Exchange 2016. All mailboxes have been migrated to EOL. I would like to create a retention policy that would prevent a user from permanently deleting emails.  I've read a lot of MS documentation but I'm still unclear if this is possible.  Our current retention policy deletes after two years but I don't know if a user permanently deletes an email if that email is retained for discovery requests up to that two year mark? Is there a MS solution for this? Thanks!
