Example
The following code example shows a CreateItem request that creates a single e-mail, sends it to several recipients, and saves a copy of it in the Sent Items default folder.
static void CreateEmail()
{
// Create the CreateItem request.
CreateItemType createEmailRequest = new CreateItemType();
// Specifiy how the e-mail will be handled.
createEmailRequest.MessageDisposition = MessageDispositionType.SendAndSaveCopy;
createEmailRequest.MessageDispositionSpecified = true;
// Specify the location of sent items.
createEmailRequest.SavedItemFolderId = new TargetFolderIdType();
DistinguishedFolderIdType sentitems = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
sentitems.Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.sentitems;
createEmailRequest.SavedItemFolderId.Item = sentitems;
// Create the array of items.
createEmailRequest.Items = new NonEmptyArrayOfAllItemsType();
// Create a single e-mail message.
MessageType message = new MessageType();
message.Subject = "Daily Report";
message.Body = new BodyType();
message.Body.BodyType1 = BodyTypeType.Text;
message.Body.Value = "(1) Handled customer issues, (2) Saved the world.";

message.Sensitivity = SensitivityChoicesType.Normal;
message.SensitivitySpecified = true;
message.Importance = ImportanceChoicesType.High;
message.ImportanceSpecified = true;
// Add the message to the array of items to be created.
