Getting Started with Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.1 - Working with Mailbox Items

The Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) Managed API 1.1 provides an intuitive managed API for developing client and server applications that leverage Exchange 2010 data and business logic, whether Exchange is running on premise or in the cloud. The EWS Managed API 1.1 makes Exchange Web Services SOAP calls under the covers, so many environments are already configured for EWS Managed API 1.1.
