The https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/ namespace is used to directly access MAPI properties in the Microsoft® Exchange store. The namespace consists of three sub namespaces: proptag, id, and string. The following table shows these subnamespaces and their descriptions.

Sub Namespace	Description
proptag	This namespace is used to access Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) properties in the Exchange store. You can access these properties through an OLE DB or through WebDAV by appending the hexadecimal property tag value to the namespace prefix: https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/value The hexadecimal value should follow the character "x" in the name. For example, the PR_SUBJECT Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) property can be accessed using the name https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/x0037001E. The full property tag value must be used.
id	This namespace is used to access id-named Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) properties in the Exchange store. You can access these properties through an OLE DB or through WebDAV by appending the namespace globally unique identifier (GUID) in string format for the property set followed by the hexadecimal identifier for the property: https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{propset GUID}/value For example, https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{3f0a69e0-7f56-11d2-b536-00aa00bbb6e6}/xfeedface
string	This namespace is used to access string-named Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) properties in the Exchange store. You can access these properties through an OLE DB or through WebDAV by appending the namespace GUID in string format for the property set followed by the name (string) of the property: https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{propset GUID}/name For example, https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{3f0a69e0-7f56-11d2-b536-00aa00bbb6e6}/myproperty
