Archive Users Mailbox To Shared Mailbox
Hi Kevin,
It should work without any problem, and shared mailboxes does not need licenses.
But you can manage inactive mailboxes also using retention policies. Please read here https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-inactive-mailboxes-in-Office-365-296a02bd-ebde-4022-900e-547acf38ddd7

Thanks for your help guys.
No not had problems just wanted to know if we can do it in theory.
Litigation hold or retention policies will work great but not for our smaller clients who are on business licences.
Thanks
- I know this is an old post and I don't know how much of this has changed, but we had an issue where we converted to a shared mailbox but we lost all the archived emails for the mailbox that we converted. Maybe we have to change the retention policy on the shared mailbox? How large can the shared mailbox be? The converted user had an Exchange Online P2 so they had a large archive.
