Hello,

I'm trying to create a draft email using WEBDAV on the exchange server but when I view the message in OWA it shows that it has been already sent and I cannot edit the draft.

Does anyone know why it appears as already sent? How can I fix it so that the draft message shows as unsent so I can edit the draft in OWA?

Thanks

After getting response from the put request donot create the move request object. The move request sends the email.

Did you ever get this to work? One person suggested not doing the move request, but this still leaves the message uneditable in your DRAFTS folder. I'm also trying to put a message in the DRAFTS folder that is editable for someone to manually send. Any help would be great, thanks!

Use PROPPATCH instead of PUT. It will create an editable email that can edited in OWA by calling up the URL.
