The mailbox will NOT be deleted, it will throw an error because it's now in unsupported configuration, and you are also violating the licensing terms. If you want to remove the license, remove the hold first.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the reply, actually I have been through those links but didn't get the answer I was looking for.
If I put it simply, I just want to know what will happen when I remove the license of a user's mailbox which has litigation hold enabled on it.
Best Regards.
