Getting a sent MailMessage into the “Sent Folder”

Question

I\'m sending MailMessages with an SmtpClient (being delivered successfully) using an Exchange Server but would like my sent emails to go to the Sent Folder of the email addr

Answer 1

I have done this, so for completeness here's how to do it properly. Using the managed exchange web service ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd633709%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx ):

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);

// In case you have a dodgy SSL certificate:
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =
            delegate(Object obj, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors errors)
            {
                return true;
            };

service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("username", "password", "MYDOMAIN");
service.Url = new Uri("https://exchangebox/EWS/Exchange.asmx");

EmailMessage em = new EmailMessage(service);
em.Subject = "example email";
em.Body = new MessageBody("hello world");
em.Sender = new Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailAddress("john.smith@example.com");
em.ToRecipients.Add(new Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailAddress("bob.smith@example.com"));

// Send the email and put it into the SentItems:
em.SendAndSaveCopy(WellKnownFolderName.SentItems);
