How do I retrieve the Item ID of an email in the Zimbra SOAP API for further operations like viewing or deleting?

To get the Item ID, you need to invoke the `Search` command with a query like `in:inbox`. The response contains `<m>` tags with attributes such as `id` (the Item ID), `a` (sender), `su` (subject), and `sf` (timestamp). This approach is covered in the [Zimbra SOAP API Development Guide 3 - Email Operations](/news/zimbra-soap-api-development-guide-3-email-operations) and builds on the foundation of the [Zimbra SOAP API Development Guide](/news/zimbra-soap-api-development-guide).
