How to move entire inbox to a different account?
One of our employees recently resigned - I'd like to essentially keep a copy of their inbox somewhere. Is it possible to transfer all of their emails to a folder in my account? Is there a better way to handle this? I want to make this process repeatable if future employees leave - saving their inbox.

- There is no supported method for assigning the mailbox to another person. You can copy the content out of it, if that's sufficient. PST export/import would do on the client side, and programmatically you can use EWS or the Graph API.
If you just want to keep the content, for meeting compliance requirements or otherwise, consider using Inactive mailboxes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/create-and-manage-inactive-mailboxes
