Converting a Global Mailbox back to Traditional Mailbox

It would be nice to add a capability to convert a GM to a TM if there is ever a need to revert a customer back to the Traditional Mailbox.

How will this idea be used?

It would be nice to add a capability to convert a GM to a TM if there is ever a need to revert a customer back to the Traditional Mailbox. We have a lot of partners to migrate and if any customer encounters issues post migration to GM, we want to be able to rollback the partner by converting them to TM and not loose any of their data on the mailbox.
