Office365 searching for deleted users mails

[Sput1985]

This I believe will be a quick answer one.... due to probably my overly complexed search terms I didnt get a definitive answer from google.

 

I have an O365 user whose account was sync'd from AD.

 

Their AD account is no more.

Their 365 account is no more, not even in deleted users, so I presume their AD account was deleted over 90 days ago.

 

If I do a Compliance Search for emails they have sent, am I right in saying I will find none, unless the email was sent to a user who is still active in the O365 tenant? Therefore their externally sent emails will not be searchable for?

 

Thanks
