There is an option on the properties of the database to preserve their mailboxes until a full backup has occured, but the export-mailbox requires an attached account. You can make a test account if necessary, then delete when done. for a lot of users, i can envision a powershell script to add accounts, attach mailboxes based on disconnected status, export then delete...
