[SOAP]trash operater in MsgActionRequest not working

[tatsuquito]

Hello,

I tested some of SOAP APIs for my assignment that will trash many old messages in batch.

I wrote codes in ruby and initiated MsgActionRequest looking like this:

<n2:MsgActionRequest xmlns:n2="urn:zimbraMail">
<action op="trash"
id="1387"></action>
</n2:MsgActionRequest>

However, the API returns an error like this:

<soap:Body><soap:Fault><soap:faultcode>soap:Client </soap:faultcode><soap:faultstring>invalid request: unknown operation: trash</soap:faultstring><soap:detail><Error xmlns="urn:zimbra"><Code>service.INVALID_REQUEST</Code><Trace>com.zimbra.cs.service.ServiceException : invalid request: unknown operation: trash

My code works fine with "spam" and "delete" operators. Do I miss something in my SOAP request?

I believe that the "trash" operation is valid only in ZCS 5.0. If you're using a 4.5.X version of the server, that operation is not available.

Thank you very much. I think I will use 5.0 for a production system, but for development I'd like to use one I use now. Is there any work around on this? Can I use "move" to trash instead? How can I write the request message in SOAP?

You can certainly use op="move" l="3". The main benefit to op="trash" is that it resolves any naming conflicts you may have in the Trash folder.
