I've been hunting for this information for a week without any solid success.

I am targeting an Exchange 2010_SP2 server and have an application which sends out Appointments (Meetings) using EWS and inviting users/attendees. Currently when a user forwards their calendar item to another user, Exchange sends my application's email address an automatic notification about the forward. From the information contained within the notification message, I cannot find any information to help me specifically bind to the original appointment. I do have some clues with the user that forwarded it, the title of the event, and the date/time for it, but nothing that is guaranteed to be unique. I was thinking I could embed a unique identifier into the subject, but this seems a little gross. Has anyone else figured out a way to look up the event in context?

(Using C# and Microsoft's EWS Client API)

case EmailMessage fw when fw.ItemClass == "IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Notification.Forward":
    EmailMessage message = EmailMessage.Bind(Global.Exchange, fw.Id);
    message.Load();

I have attempted to try to query for the conversation, tried attaching customer X-Parameters to the original meeting, and have inspected all the properties I can think of within an EmailMessage object.

The PidLidCleanGlobalObjectId http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc839502.aspx extended should be set on the notification. You can use that to search for the Appointment eg this is on example of using that property

Appointment newAppointment = new Appointment(service);
newAppointment.Subject = "Test Subject";        
newAppointment.Start = new DateTime(2016, 08, 27, 17, 00, 0);
newAppointment.StartTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local;
newAppointment.EndTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local;
newAppointment.End = newAppointment.Start.AddMinutes(30);
newAppointment.Save();
newAppointment.Body = new MessageBody(Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.BodyType.Text, "test");
newAppointment.RequiredAttendees.Add("[email protected]");
newAppointment.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite ,SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendOnlyToAll);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition CleanGlobalObjectId = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(DefaultExtendedPropertySet.Meeting, 0x23, MapiPropertyType.Binary);
PropertySet psPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
psPropSet.Add(CleanGlobalObjectId);
newAppointment.Load(psPropSet);
object CalIdVal = null;
newAppointment.TryGetProperty(CleanGlobalObjectId, out CalIdVal);
Folder AtndCalendar = Folder.Bind(service, new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar,"[email protected]"));
SearchFilter sfSearchFilter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(CleanGlobalObjectId, Convert.ToBase64String((Byte[])CalIdVal));
ItemView ivItemView = new ItemView(1);
FindItemsResults<Item> fiResults = AtndCalendar.FindItems(sfSearchFilter, ivItemView);
if (fiResults.Items.Count > 0) {
    //do whatever
}
