From Microsoft (head of retention development).

Hey Tony, this is incorrect, retention policies does exactly the same preservation in case of an edited email.

We do not recommend use of litigation hold when preserving content, it is a blunt instrument that will essentially not let anything move from the mailbox whether it’s interesting to the retention/hold or not (so system data, etc.), this is a problem as customers end up with quota issues, etc.

Hmmm… I accept what you say, but I assumed that retention did what LH does in terms of the original message… I need to talk to someone in the compliance group.

This is because LH also preserved mailbox items that may have been manipulated, i.e. individual email messages whereby a user has intentionally ‘edited’ a received (or sent) email to change the content. With LH enabled on the mailbox, a copy of the original as well as amended item is preserved. If just a retention policy is enabled then only the amended item is retained, not the original. I discovered this in the course of my role when running through some advanced support with Microsoft. I’ve no reason to believe this functionality has changed, so I find it a good idea to apply LH to mailboxes with licenses that support this functionality from as soon the time the mailbox is provisioned.
