Their account will not be listed in the suggestions list when someone mentions.
People
Their account will be neither listed nor searchable in applications, including My Connections, Everyone, Suggestions and Invitations applications as usual.

Invitation emails from Calendar (after someone modified an event where the suspended user was participant already).
