Examples
The following example shows you how to synchronize the items in the Inbox folder. Because the SyncState property is set, the items in the folder have been synchronized before. This SyncFolderItems operation will return all changes that were made since the synchronization call that is represented by the SyncState property. This call will return a maximum of 100 items, which are represented by their item identifiers and their subject field, if applicable. Also be aware that this call ignores a single item.
static void SyncFolderItems(ExchangeServiceBinding esb)
{
// Create the request.
SyncFolderItemsType request = new SyncFolderItemsType();
// Identify the properties that are synchronized.
ItemResponseShapeType shape = new ItemResponseShapeType();
shape.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.IdOnly;
PathToUnindexedFieldType itemSubject = new PathToUnindexedFieldType();
itemSubject.FieldURI = UnindexedFieldURIType.itemSubject;
shape.AdditionalProperties = new BasePathToElementType[1];
shape.AdditionalProperties[0] = itemSubject;
// Add the synchronized properties to the request.
request.ItemShape = shape;
// Define the maximum number of changes returned in the response.
request.MaxChangesReturned = 100;
// Identify the folder to synchronize.
DistinguishedFolderIdType inbox = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
inbox.Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.inbox;
request.SyncFolderId = new TargetFolderIdType();
request.SyncFolderId.Item = inbox;
// Add the synchronization state to the request.

// Identify which items should not be synchronized.
