@Amr Shboul Hello So if I am reading this correctly you have an onprem Exch server as well as some mailboxes in O365?

You can assign a cleanup policy to both onprem and online, however using a cleanup policy is uncommon for Exch online as you normally have a very large amount of storage provided so its unlikely that you need to stub those mailboxes. What/why is the plan for stubbing?

@Amr Shboul if you are using the exchange mailbox agent with on-prem AD, you can configure cleanup policies: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/cleaning_up_messages_using_exchange_mailbox_01.html and run cleanup jobs. 

However, if you are using the M365 Exchange Application as per: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/create_office_365_plan_for_exchange_online.html

This now leverages an ‘office 365’ plan which doesn’t provide the ability to clean up (stub) messages in m365. 

So it depends on the agent you have configured in your environment (based on your description, it’s the first one).

Regards,

Chris
