Get Contacts folder items using ews in office 365

I'm using the following SOAP request to retrieve the items in contacts folder in office 365 mail addin

'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'+
    ' <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"' +
     ' xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"' +
            ' xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"'+
            ' xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages">'+
    ' <soap:Header>'+
       ' <t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2013" />' +
    ' </soap:Header>'+
    ' <soap:Body >'+
       ' <m:FindPeople>'+
          ' <m:IndexedPageItemView BasePoint="Beginning" MaxEntriesReturned="100" Offset="0"/>'+
          ' <m:ParentFolderId>'+
             ' <t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="contacts"/>'+
          ' </m:ParentFolderId>'+
      ' </m:FindPeople>'+
    ' </soap:Body>'+
    ' </soap:Envelope>';

But the following error shows up.

error

I have used FindItem , GetFolder methods for calendar folder and those are working.

Is there anyway to look for people email address by using the name as search value.

the makeEwsRequestAsync in Mail Apps only supports a subset of EWS operations which FindPeople is not one of. You can see a full list of supported operations on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp160952.aspx .

Sure just use a FindItem with a restriction on the DisplayName eg

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:m="
http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" xmlns:t="http://sc
hemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xml
soap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Header>
    <t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2013_SP1" />
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <m:FindItem Traversal="Shallow">
      <m:ItemShape>
        <t:BaseShape>AllProperties</t:BaseShape>
      </m:ItemShape>
      <m:IndexedPageItemView MaxEntriesReturned="1000" Offset="0" BasePoint="Beginning" />
      <m:Restriction>
        <t:Contains ContainmentMode="Substring" ContainmentComparison="IgnoreCase">
          <t:FieldURI FieldURI="contacts:DisplayName" />
          <t:Constant Value="Blah blah" />
        </t:Contains>
      </m:Restriction>
      <m:ParentFolderIds>
        <t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="contacts" />
      </m:ParentFolderIds>
    </m:FindItem>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Cheers Glen
