Depends, are you taking about an individual or a group of people?

One person - your.
A group - their.

I am confused --

1)

Why 'your' doesn't fit if the reference is to the group?

2)

Doesn't the use of 'everyone' here preclude the possibility of the reference being individual?

I'd really appreciate if everyone could please get back to me with the time and day
that suits your daily schedule.

Gray, if you are asking them to get back to you individually, then you would couch the request differently.

" Would you each get back to me with YOUR ( individual ) ... blah, blah, blah."

Collectively a group who work as a group would deliver THEIR collective blah, blah, blah.
