Email listing does not return all fields

[douglasheld]

Hi all,

Following the instructions to retrieve a message list does not include essential details like from email From: and To: fields. It seems like the "friendly names" are included, but these of course are not email addresses.

The following code lists my Inbox messages, but the getToRecipients() is always 0 elements; the getFrom().getAddress() is always null; and getInternetMessageHeaders() is also null.

How can I specify the fields I want in the result?

private static void checkInbox( ) throws Exception{
    ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService( ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2 ); //"14.3.210.2"
    service.setUrl( new URI( "https://webmail.example.com/ews/exchange.asmx" ) );
    service.setCredentials( new WebCredentials( USERNAME, PASSWORD ) );
    Folder inbox = Folder.bind( service, WellKnownFolderName.Inbox );
    ItemView top1000 = new ItemView( 1000 );
    FindItemsResults<Item> result = inbox.findItems( top1000 );
    for ( Iterator<Item> m = result.iterator(); m.hasNext();  ){
        Item peek = m.next();
        if ( peek instanceof EmailMessage ) {
            EmailMessage msg = (EmailMessage) peek;

            System.out.println( "\nMessage   " + msg.getInternetMessageId() );
            System.out.println( "Date:       " + msg.getDateTimeReceived().toGMTString() );
            System.out.println( "From:       " + msg.getFrom().getName() );
            System.out.println( "To:         " + msg.getDisplayTo() );
            System.out.println( "Recipients: " + msg.getToRecipients().getCount() );
            System.out.println( "Subject:    " + msg.getSubject() );

        }
        else 
            System.out.println( "\nEncountered a non-email message." );
    }
}

You'll probably need to configure the PropertySet you want to retrieve on the ItemView object.

I would appreciate if you could show how that is done. I did not have very good luck with taking out the PropertySet, adding more ItemSchema.* properties to it, and then putting it back in the ItemView.

There's an example in the Getting Started Guide.

Thank you. That is the original example I was following. I did not have any luck with the following customization of PropertySet to try to return the elements I want (e.g. From: and To: email headers)

I would appreciate if you could show how that is done. I did not have very good luck with this:

...

    PropertySet fields = new PropertySet();
    fields.add( ItemSchema.InternetMessageHeaders );
    top1000.setPropertySet( fields );
    FindItemsResults<Item> result = inbox.findItems( top1000 );

...

you can use PropertySet fields = new PropertySet(ItemSchema.Id,EmailMessageSchema.From, EmailMessageSchema.ToRecipients) (extend this list with the additional properties you want to load) also a taken hint from msdn

To get the message headers, the EWS schema exposes the InternetMessageHeaders first-class property. Unfortunately, this property does not appear to return a complete set of message headers. For example, in Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the InternetMessageHeaders property doesn't return address headers such as From and To
