Hi Manjunath,

This forum is for the technical discussion covering the Microsoft Exchange Server protocols documentation that can be found here. The protocol documentation provides detailed technical specifications for Microsoft proprietary protocols used by Microsoft Exchange Server to communicate with other Microsoft products. If you have specific questions related to the Microsoft Exchange Server protocol documentation then this is the place that we can help.

If your questions is specific to Exchange Server development there is a helpful technical community on the Microsoft TechNet that is focused on Exchange Server development found here. The forum covers topics such as Exchange Web Services (EWS), WebDAV, APIs, application conversion and general application development against Exchange Server.

When posting to this forum or the Exchange Development Forum it would be helpful to provide background information about your environment and proposed solution such as:

· Exchange Server version.

· Programming language used to develop your solution.

· Description of your Exchange topology.

This would better enable other developers on the forum to help you with your questions.

Hi Dominic,

I am Manjunath's colleague and will be folowing up this query loop from now onwards.

Let me clarify the doubt once again.

We have Thunderbird as email client, We have configured exchagne account into Thunderbird.

There is an option( in Thunderbird) to search a mail in exchange server. Suppose you put some string say "Dominic" either in TO,CC,BCC ,FROM,BODY fields of search window of Thunderbird.

It will send that search request to exchange server through proxy server( which we have developed, we are mapping IMAP requests coming from Thunderbird to Exchane active sync request).

Exchange server will search the mails containing the string"Dominic" and it will send the ID's of those emails.
The Id's will be LONGIDs' like this "asfafhsfas985239242424lkfksfs8325nefafsaf9052l5nwkfnwsr903252lnwkfs982534klsfakslfksafalfaaf".

Once I get this LONGID from exchange server , I need to convert it to SERVER ID which will be in numeric format.
Once I will convert it to Server Id, then I can easily find out the mail which is having this server Id.

We want to convert this LONG ID to SERVER ID.

Please provide your support on this.

Regards,
Subodh

Greetings Manjunath,

I have finished my investigation into this matter and this is what I have concluded:

There is no direct conversion possible from LongId to ServerId. However, you could perform a search query as outlined in [MS-ASCMD] (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd299441.aspx) in Section 4.5.3 to obtain the LongId of a message. Subsequently, you then could use the LongId in a Fetch operation to retrieve the message in question (Detailed in Section 4.5.3.4).

Does this information assist you?
