Explanation

* Retention wins over deletion. Suppose that one retention policy says to delete Exchange email after three years, but another retention policy says to retain Exchange email for five years and then delete it.
Any content that reaches three years old will be deleted and hidden from the users' view, but still retained in the Recoverable Items folder until the content reaches five years old, when it is permanently deleted.
* The longest retention period wins. If content is subject to multiple policies that retain content, it will be retained until the end of the longest retention period.
