    If you modify the existing retention category, it will apply to both already archived emails and the new ones. If you create a new retention category, it will only affect the newly archived emails, so better modify the existing one.

    The shortcuts will also be deleted as part of storage expiry. I know there was an issue in older EV version, but I believe it was fixed in newer version. See: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000039567
