$Addresses = @("user@example.com", "user2@example.com")

$MaxDate = "2016-01-01"

|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Run the script. You will be prompted for your Office 365 credentials.

* This script will delete all content older than the specified date, including items in the user's mailbox that were sent to or received from other users in the organization.
|
|
* The larger your organization, the longer this script will take to run.
|
|
* This is quite a dangerous script. Use it at your own risk.
