    Yes, convert them to a shared mailbox and them move them to Office 365.
    The shared mailbox does not require a license and has a 50GB quota.
    Then give yourself full access to those mailboxes once they are moved to Exchange Online.

    Its important to concert to a shared mailbox first on-prem before moving
    and disable the AD account
