exchange web services restriction paths

Question

I have done a bit of searching and am unable to find a list of legal properties for use with the FindItem <Restriction> element, specificially what can I use in

<IsEqualTo><FieldURI FieldURI="???"></IsEqualTo>

that will not result in a ErrorUnsupportedPathForQuery error?

(Using EWS Exchange2010_SP1)

Answer 1

I wrote an integration test which performs a FindItem using an exists filter for each of the UnindexedFieldURIType. Sorry private project, can't post code.

These fields work:

It's worth noting that of the fields that produce an error, most fail with an ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_PATH_FOR_QUERY, but others fail with a ERROR_INVALID_PROPERTY_FOR_EXISTS. That suggests that some fields work with some some SearchExpressionTypes while others don't.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa494315(v=EXCHG.140).aspx. But if you are using a .NET based language, you should use the EWS Managed API, which is much more simpler to use.
