Move item between mailboxes / share folder with soap

Question

Hello,
I need to move an email from one mailbox to another.
With the normal client this can be done by sharing the folder and then draging and dropping.
I want to automate this process with soap.
I have been able to move email from a normal folder to another with soap.
However I was not successful moving an email from a shared folder to a normal folder.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible to create a shared folder with soap?
I found the method acceptShareRequest, which seems to be the method I need to use to confirm the shared folder.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Scott

Hello Preston,
From looking at the java example you pointed out, I got just about everything working. Thanks for that.
The only think I need to do to complete my project is handling folders which are already shared.
Basically I plan on checking out the ACL of a folder instead of blindly sharing it.
So I need to inspect the existing ACLs.
I saw the following code in the java example:
Code:
GetFolderResponse resp = new GetFolderResponse();
FolderType ft = null;
String id = null;
// String view = "default account noDisplay fullACL";
String view = "default account fullACL";
str = m_item.getFolderTypeString();
if ( null != str && str.equalsIgnoreCase( "Notes" ) ) {
ft = FolderType.Notes;
} else if ( null != str && str.equalsIgnoreCase( "JunkMail" ) ) {
ft = FolderType.JunkMail;
} else {
id = m_item.getId();
try {
resp = m_main.getService().getFolderRequest( id, ft, null, null,
view, m_main.getSessionId(), m_main.getTrace() );
So I read the code to the effect, if I send a folder id and the view "default account fullACL" with getFolderRequest, I should get the ACL information.
This however doesn't seem to be working for me.
Here is a trace:
