How can I move an email from a users main mailbox to a shared mailbox using apps for office.  I know I can do this manually but i am creating an for owa/outlook that would be a button to move the item.  I have tried using ews but can only find the commands to move emails inside the users mailbox

for example : 

'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
        '<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"' +
        '               xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"' +
        '               xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"' +
        '               xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">' +
        '  <soap:Header>' +
        '    <t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2013" />' +
        '  </soap:Header>' +
        '  <soap:Body>' +
        '    <m:MoveItem>' +
        '      <m:ToFolderId>' +
        '        <t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="junkemail" />' +
        '      </m:ToFolderId>' +
        '      <m:ItemIds>' +
        '        <t:ItemId Id="' + id + '" ' +
        '                  ChangeKey="' + changeKey + '" />' +
        '      </m:ItemIds>' +
        '    </m:MoveItem>' +
        '  </soap:Body>' +
        '</soap:Envelope>';

Can I create a xml that would would do this?  Is there a way to do it using the EWS service reference.  I do not want to use import/export to do this.

Hi ExploringDotNet,

Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.

As far as I know, the apps for Office doesn't provide the API to achieve.

However I think it maybe possible to achieve through the EWS, so I would move it to Exchange Development forum to see whether there is an solution.

Thanks for your understanding.

While doing the move is possible using EWS (eg the MoveItem operation should work as long as you have rights to both mailboxes), however the auth token that you get in an a Mail App will only allow you to access the current mailbox. So this token won't allow you to copy the Item into the shared mailbox, (You could forward it to the shared Mailbox). In Outlook you can still use an older VSTO plugin to do this with the Outlook OOM.

Cheers
