How to get retention policy on a soft-deleted mailbox via Powershell

We have thousands of users who’s mailboxes are soft-deleted/inactive since 2024. I’m trying to confirm which policy is responsible for this as the default is 30 days after an account is deleted.

Trying to read up on the MS documentation is confusing, but I can get the mailbox, get our purview policies, legacy exchange policies etc but I can’t tell how to put them together to get what’s applied to a specific mailbox.

I’ve never used public folders before till I joined new org that relies on them heavily for calendar sharing. I think we have around 200 with only 10-15 of them being over 1GB in size.

I tried looking this up and seems like the options are Microsoft 365 groups, shared mailboxes or just sticking with PF’s. Our use case is literally just the ability to give granular permissions to a shared calendar…is this something that can be done with a M365 group? I’d really love to move away from PF’s as they’re a pain in the ass and want to modernize our processes.
