Answer 1

you can use SOAP/WCF-Webhttp/WCF-Wshttp adapter based on your requirement and consume it like any other service on the receive/send ports

If its soap : use soap adapter

But FYI : In case you just have to consume emails from a  mailbox, u can use pop3 adapter on ports .

Hi,

You can consume the web service endpoint for EWS web service using Consume WCF service . This will generate you service level schema (xsd) . The process will remain same how to call other web services or web api .

For operation details look at the Microsoft documentation below

Hello,

You can make use of EWS Managed API and call it via C# helper code in your orchestration. The below links will show you how to use the Exchange Web Services (EWS) Managed API to perform specific tasks with mailbox data on an on-premises Exchange server, Exchange Online, or Exchange Online as part of Office 365.
