Retrieving calendar information from a mailbox with a special character in its primary e-mail address

I've been writing code to retrieve calendar info from a room mailbox using Exchange Web Services. I'm able to successfully retrieve info from room mailboxes and user mailboxes alike, but I seem to have hit a snag. My theory is that it has to do with the ampersand in the address... I can confirm that this is the primary address of the room mailbox. I've also made sure that I can access the calendar from outlook.

Here's my code which, once again, works really well on other mailboxes but fails with this one:

            EmailAddressType mailbox = new EmailAddressType();
            mailbox.EmailAddress = "r&[email protected]";
            DistinguishedFolderIdType[] parentFolderId = new DistinguishedFolderIdType[1];
            parentFolderId[0] = new DistinguishedFolderIdType { Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.calendar, Mailbox = mailbox };

Has anyone experienced problems of this kind before? Any chance you might be able to nudge me in the right direction? Any help appreciated!

TIA, Rick.

You are probably right. Try replacing it with &

Explanation: Since this is going across a Web Service, it's probably getting parsed into XML at some point, and the & character is reserved. So you need to use & any time you want to use & in a string.
