EWS. FindItem operation. How to map response data to the request? - exchange-server

In my app I need to look for messages with certain custom properties. I'm using FindItem operation. This is the XML of my request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

So I'm looking for three messages as you can see. One of them (second one) doesn't exist. So in the response I expected to receive some indication that no data for this specific message was found. But this is what I get in the response:

Only two messages and no indication which ones in the request they belong to. So how am I supposed to map the two found messages to the data in request? Are the messages in the response actually 1 and 2? 2 and 3? or 1 and 3 (which is true in this case)? Do you see my confusion? Obviously I'm doing something wrong. There should be a way to map the data easily. How should I build the request the proper way?
UPDATE:
What I also tried was making a separate FindItem node for each message but unfortunately this didn't work either. The response contained data only for the first item

Your ItemShape element caninclude AdditionalProperties element where you can specify your custom properties, such as "OriginalId".

Why is Restriction getting ignored?

I want to get the Id of a folder with the given name in the given parent folder using FindFolder EWS SOAP service through Office JavaScript API function Office.context.mailbox.makeEwsRequestAsync. The specified Restriction seems to get ignored.

The request is successful, but instead of receiving at most one Folder in the response, I am getting all the folders in the specified parent folder.
I am calling this code from an Outlook Web Add-In which has ReadWriteMailbox permissions.
Please also note that specified restriction in a FindItem SOAP service call also did not work for me while the request was successful.
Can anybody point me in the right direction, please?
Restriction is from Messages not Types so your request is incorrect (not sure why it doesn't throw an error) but if you use
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Specifying multiple ids (AlternateId ) in the ConvertId EWS request?

I was under an impression that I can pass multiple ids in the ConvertId request. If I send the following request with two ids (they happen to be folder and its child message), I only get one id back.
Sure sounds like a bug...

Corrections
So, consolidating our exchange so it can be seen as the answer to date.
As per the sanity testing of this method by myself and Dmitry Streblechenko (the OP). In leveraging this method, multiples are allowed.
For example: only one type (messages) or another (folders) is allowed at the same time.

How to properly create/update public folder via EWS using admin impersonation?

I cannot create any public folder in case when I set proper permission (through WebUI) to that user (in my case admin).
But when I try to update public folder`s 'EffectiveRights' to add permission level to that user I cannot do it. Which request I need to send to update user permission level on public folder or add proper 'EffectiveRights' on that public folder?

Because your trying to create folders in publicfoldersroot no user has rights by default to do that (this is to stop people messing up the Public Folder root). So if you want your user test#test_test.onmicrosoft.com you would need to first grant them rights to do that on the Root folder either using the EAC or Add-PublicFolderclientPermissions. I would suggest you first create a folder in the Root using the EAC and then get your code to create child folders of that, from a development point of view this is easier to cleanup when you need to delete everything and test again then trying to clear the whole root hierarchy each time.
Also only you second example will work because EffectiveRights is a calculate property so can't be updated, all you can do is update the underlying DACL of the folder which is what you second request is doing

How to query EWS for a Calendar Message Body

I've looked over the API Here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa494315(v=exchg.150).aspx
And I think I must be missing something simple. Is there a way using a specific field based query to get a calendar body?
Thanks
The FindItem operation doesn't return the Body, Attendees and other complex/large properties see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vikas/2007/07/26/ews-why-does-not-finditem-return-all-the-fields-you-expected/ .
So you need to take the ItemId you get from the FindItem Request and then either make a single GetItem Request https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa564509(v=exchg.150).aspx or if you need it for multiple Items batch the GetItem Request together for efficiency.

Exchange web service (EWS) says "Accees denied" when I try to delete calendar event created by me

I am trying to delete a calendar event that I have created a while ago.
Case 1:
I call EWS to create a calendar event using credentials of domain user broom#infusion.com in some room providing email address of the room and then I get ID of the event
Then I delete the event by calling EWS and providing Id and ChangeKey, and all is fine - meeting is deleted
Case 2
I create event the same way like in Case 1
I get list of calendar events for this room. Now ID of the event has HexEntryId format. So I use ConvertId method to convert it to EwsLegacyId required by DeleteItem method
I call DeleteItem method with ID of event provided by ConvertId method, but without ChangeKey (I don't have it)
DeleteItemResponse says "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again."
Why can I remove event in Case 1 and I cannot in Case 2? What should I do to delete the event (like in Case 2)?
Here are details of request and responses:
Case 1:
I call EWS to create a calendar event using credentials of domain user broom#mycompany.com in some room by providing email address of the room – a meeting like this:

then meeting is accepted and I get ItemID like:
state.ChangeKey: "DwAAABYAAADw3LMNr7pMRqtEFFAbr0MeAAAAhxz0"
state.Id: "AAASAGJyb29tQGluZnVzaW9uLmNvbQBGAAAAAAB5mlhabHe9S4yVHCob9IbcBwDw3LMNr7pMRqtEFFAbr0MeAAAAOdnlAADw3LMNr7pMRqtEFFAbr0MeAAAAhrdWAAA="
Then I delete the event by calling EWS and providing Id and ChangeKey:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>

and all is fine. The event is deleted.
Case 2:

In Case 1 your deleting the Appointment from your calendar which you have Full Access to. In Case2 it looks like your trying to delete the appointment from the Room Mailbox which you may or may not have Full rights to (the default is read only even if you are the organizer of the appointment its the calendar itself you would need rights to). In the case where you where the organizer of said appointment you would be better to just cancel the appointment in your calendar and send the cancellation through to the Room mailbox and let the auto-accept on the Room mailbox process and perform the delete that way or you would need to assign the mailbox that is trying to do the Delete Full access to the Room mailbox in question.
