Enterprise Vault Archives And Mailboxes

Hi

I am new to EV and i have a simple question regarding Exchange mailbox archiving.Are the archives linket to a maiblox GUID or to a user account in A.D.

Scenario:

If a user leaves the company and i disconect/delete that user`s maiblox but dont disable/delete the A.D. account,will i be able to access the archive if i create a new maiblox for that user?

Thanks
