    i wanted to chime in with a simple yes/no since i saw this post still hasn't been marked as solved.

    "if it just makes a copy of Office 365 email and stores it in EV"yes. it uses journaling and that's how journaling always has worked.

    "does it pull the email from Office 365 and archives it into EV" - no. the email stays in O365. it's just a copy that's sent to your EV server via the journal rule and (send connector.)

    "whether the Office 365 mailbox size will reduce once the archive policy is applied" - no. it's a copy.
