Managed Folders - Entire Mailbox
- If I set a new Managed Content Setting policy on the entire mailbox, would that policy also effect any Custom Folders that have their own retention policy?

Yes, custom managed folders would not be affected.
Btw, that's article is for RTM, here is article for SP1/SP2, but the definition is the same.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996035.aspxIt is important that you use the managed default folder named Entire Mailbox with caution. Managed content settings that are applied to Entire Mailbox control every folder in the mailbox except:
- Managed custom folders (and their subfolders)
- Managed default folders (and their subfolders)
A managed default folder is a default folder in the mailbox (such as the Inbox, Calendar, or Contacts) that is linked to a managed folder mailbox policy. If a default folder in the mailbox is not linked to a managed folder mailbox policy, then the “entire mailbox” policy will apply to that default folder.

- Never tested but i think it should be affected. Content settings on entire mailbox are meant for the kind of settings which should not conflict with other content settings.
