Unless her workplace disabled it, MS Exchange should support POP3/IMAP4 so you should be able to just hook any old client up (i.e. thunderbird) and disable delete syncing.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yeah, I should’ve checked this out before posting. I’m not sure whether they’ve disabled that or not.
Just be careful it's legal if she's planning to store work emails on a non work approved repository. My company does not allow this and have checks and / or blocks in place to catch people doing it.
It's always legal to store correspondences. It may be illegal (and probably is with most employee-employer contracts) to distribute correspondences to the public... it may get you in legal trouble if you store such correspondences and they're stolen (that'll be a question on whether the storage is negligent).
But it is always legal to store correspondences for personal private reference and to share them with legal counsel. Such correspondences are often how labor lawsuits move forward and while employers should not delete them they sometimes will so it's never a bad idea to have your own copy.
I’ll have to do more research on this. She’s in good standing with management but for some reason they’re giving her a super difficult time about taking medically necessary time off. We fear they might even try to fire her, so having evidence would be nice.
It's extremely wise to think of this and start that collection before she's laid off so I hope she isn't but good on yall for being prepared!
If you are comfortable with the command line, mbsync / isync allow you to save your mail offline with the ability to search and read it later on. You can use a cron job to fetch the email however often you want it.
I should’ve clarified that the command line is actually my preferred way of doing it. Our personal devices aren’t on 24/7 (laptops) so automating it the traditional Linux/UNIX way™ is preferable.
