    Based on the comment you posted the answer is yes, nothing will change.

    Yes you can have differing settings per partition. The difference will be what retention values the clips will be stamped with on archiving. With Never they will be stamped with zero still so will be eligible for deletion straight away. With only for Centera Compliance plus they will be stamped with the retention period and so will only be eligible for deletion when that retention has passed.

    My question is, if you want Compliance Plus why don't you want the retention applied?  Is it because you are going to have a journal partition on the same Centera as Mailbox.

    Also, are there any plans to migrate away from Centera or are yours still in service?

Further to this, I want to know what happens when a user tries to delete a mailbox archived item whose retention has not yet passed when the partition is set to "for a Compliance Plus Mode Centera"

Do they get an error?

I assume cutomers with Centera in CE+ mode would want to set mailbox archiving partitions to "Never" so as to allow deletions by end users?

thanks!
