    With Expiry disabled, nothing would happen to it, whether its retention was set to 2 days or 2 years.
    But in this circumstance what will happen is when EV archives the message it will take the retention of the Exchange Managed folder, if its not a managed folder it will either take the default retention of your archive, or if EVPM has run against it or whether a user changed the default retention, it will take that retention.

    and then when expiry runs, if the retention is 2 years, it will delete it when expiry runs either 2 years after its been archived (Expiry by archived date) or 2 years after it was Sent/Received (Expiry by modified date)
