rews

Rews has bitrotted and needs work to bring it up to date : This work will need an Exchange server to test against (ideally all of 2007, 2010 and 2013). I no longer have Exchange servers to test against, so someone else will have to take over the project, or users will have to migrate to another project.

Rews is a simple Ruby client for Exchange Web Services

Install

gem install rews

About

• Find, Get and Delete of Items and Folders is supported.
• Filtering, ordering, and arbitrary property retrieval are supported.
• Bulk operations are supported
• Runs on both CRuby and JRuby

Method names generally follow the Exchange Web Services API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb409286(EXCHG.140).aspx

It has been tested against

• Exchange 2007 SP1 (Version 8.1, Build 240.6)
• Exchange 2010 SP1 (Version 14.1, Build 218.15)

Use

# create a client
c = Rews::Client.new("https://exchange.bar.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx", :ntlm, 'EXCHDOM\foo', 'password')

# find a distinguished folder from one of the mailboxes the user has permissions for
inbox=c.distinguished_folder_id('inbox', 'foo@bar.com')

# find some message_ids,
mids = inbox.find_item_id(:restriction=>[:<=, "item:DateTimeReceived",DateTime.now],
                          :sort_order=>[["item:DateTimeReceived", "Ascending"]],
                          :indexed_page_item_view=>{:max_entries_returned=>10, :offset=>0})

# get some properties for a bunch of messages in one hit
messages = c.get_item(mids, :item_shape=>{
                              :base_shape=>:IdOnly,
                              :additional_properties=>[
                                [:field_uri, "item:Subject"],
                                [:field_uri, "item:DateTimeReceived"],
                                [:field_uri, "message:InternetMessageId"],
                                [:field_uri, "message:IsRead"],
                                [:field_uri, "message:IsReadReceiptRequested"]]})

# suppress read receipts on any messages which have requested them
c.suppress_read_receipt(messages)

# delete the items to the DeletedItems folder
c.delete_item(mids, :delete_type=>:MoveToDeletedItems)

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
