That command to assign an email to a public folder doesn’t work. Isn’t valid for 2013
All the commands are valid.

Does it need to be Get-MailPublicFolder rather than Get-PublicFolder
If you are enabling the regular Public Folder, you need to Get-Public Folder first , then you set the email with Enable-MailPublicFolder.
Thanks for helpful command list.
Is there any way if I want to move items (only emails) from one specific public folder to one specific mailbox every night?
Any help will be appreciated.
You can programmatically mode access the mailbox via EWS and that will allow you to do what you want.
