Solution

  • This what I have done to accomplish this task. I don't known this is the efficient way or not?

    1) Created a Data-table and Transverse to each mail-item and added the EntryID,Subject etc in the Data-table.

    2) Compared each element one by one using Select() on datatable and added this in DataRow [].

    3) Then created mail-item using EntryId.

    4) and removed or moved this mail-item
