Disable in Exchange, means Stop using the email account, then delete it after 30 days.

Would have been nice if disable, just disabled the account.

The Exchange Account options should have been:

Disable the Email Account. ( Stops receiving email, still accessible )
Disable then Remove the Email Account after Retention expires.
Remove the Email Account Immediately.
Remove the Email Account and the Domain Account Immediately

So many times it has happened someone has meant to only remove the email account and instead removed the entire account.
