Missing emails - Microsoft Community


hi,

we have migrated our extensive email mailboxes office 365 exchange. appears emails prior year ago have disappeared.

whilst still have backup of data, don;t want re-import these files might disappear again.

there has been no archiving enabled. our workflow, need these files retained permanently.

can either recover or discover why files disappeared. 

we have since set data retention policy keep data 40 years, should mean data retained long enough now, why emails 1 year old dissapear?

kind regards,

dave de la haye

hi acharteredaccountant,

to identify root cause of issue, i'd confirm following:

1. migration method use migrate extensive email mailboxes office 365? cutover, staged or hybrid? article reference: ways migrate multiple email accounts office 365

2. mentioned you've set data retention policy, may confirm did set up? on-premises or office 365 exchange? 

3. since migration won't affect source mail system. may perform migration again , check if issue can fixed.

thanks,

lance
