What is the main difference between using the Group mailbox location row and Teams channel messages location row in retention policies?
If you use the Group mailbox and User mailbox location rows for Exchange Online, Teams data will be deleted from the specified mailboxes. However, this only removes data from the mailbox. It doesn’t delete other Teams data, such as chats service. We recommend that you use Teams retention policies to properly manage all Teams data. A Teams retention policy removes teams data from all storage locations – Mailboxes, Chat service, Teams clients.
Note: Launch of the retention policies feature for Teams makes sure that only Teams policies delete Teams items stored inside Exchange mailbox locations (user or group). Other policies setup on mailboxes cannot affect Teams items. This was true in the past, but has been fixed with the launch of retention policies feature.
The basic text states that Group Mailbox retention policies delete Teams data from the mailbox, the note states that this is updated after Launch of retention policies. This is ambiguous.
