We have an employee leaving and I am looking to make a local backup of his email account. Office 365 does not provide an easy way to do this. The only way to do is to setup an email client, configure it as that employee, wait several hours for it sync, then initiate an export to a PST file... which again can take several hours.
Ok. Did that. Done.
However, how do I do this for the Online Archive? The Online Archive is never sync'd locally. So exporting it to a PST file is even harder to do, and takes even longer, and we keep getting "connection to Office 365 servers has been interrupted" or "network connection lost" type errors. We have to keep starting it over, and over, and over again.
There must be an easier way. Please advise.
