Taking user archives offline

We have a lot of turnaround in our company and want to be able to remove people's e-mail that have left from the archive server. I know how to take specific months offline and store somewhere else, but want to do it for specific users. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Generally people want to keep the email for users that have left the organization. I'd advise against doing this.

You can delete messages from the archive server using the search plugin as long as the container file (.emx) if not written to WORM storage.

Depending on the number of users in the company it may make more sense to create separate collection folders for individual users. You could delete the folders after they left. The downside to this approach is that you'll lose single instance storage on the archive server.
