[MS-ASCMD]: ActiveSync Command Reference Protocol Specification

2.2.2.8 ItemOperations
The ItemOperations command acts as a container for the Fetch element (section 2.2.3.60.1), the
EmptyFolderContents element (section 2.2.3.52), and the Move element (section 2.2.3.100.1) to
provide batched online handling of these operations against the server.
Operations that are contained within the ItemOperations element (section 2.2.3.80) MUST be
executed by the server in the specified order. The server MUST report the status per operation to
the client. Accordingly, the client correlates these responses to the initial operation and proceeds
appropriately.
The ItemOperations command cannot perform operations on items in the recipient information
cache.
The Fetch operation is intended to be used on Microsoft Windows® SharePoint® Services
technology, for Universal Naming Convention (UNC) access, or for user mailbox access.
Document metadata, search results, and mailbox items and attachments can be retrieved.
The EmptyFolderContents operation enables the client to empty a folder of all its items. Clients
typically use the EmptyFolderContents operation to clear out all items in the Deleted Items
folder if the user runs out of storage quota.
The Move operation moves a conversation to a destination folder.
The ItemOperations namespace is the primary namespace for this section. Elements referenced in
this section that are not defined in the ItemOperations namespace use the namespace prefixes
defined in section 2.2.1.
The following table lists the elements that are used in ItemOperations command requests and
responses.
