Once you check the box for litigation hold, the normal retention policy no longer applies. Everything is held. For the user, the interface doesn't change. They delete something, it goes to the Deleted Items folder, goes away from there according to the normal retention policy, but in the background, those messages just get moved to the hidden folders.
I don't think exporting to PST will grab those hidden folders.

We also have a retention policy that deletes their Sent Items and Deleted Items. The legal team has their own discovery software and will not be using the Exchange 2010 Discovery Search features, so they want me to export the mailboxes to PST Does the export also include the Recoverable Items folder? If so, is it a subfolder under the mailbox?
