            Contains restriction = new Contains(MessagePropertyPath.SUBJECT, "test", ContainmentMode.PREFIXED, ContainmentComparison.IGNORE_CASE);

            FindItemResponse response = service.findItem(StandardFolder.INBOX, restriction);

            for (int i = 0; i < response.getItems().size(); i++)
            {
                if (response.getItems().get(i) instanceof Message)
                {
                    PropertyName myPropertyName = new PropertyName("MyCustomProperty", StandardPropertySet.PUBLIC_STRINGS, MapiPropertyType.STRING);
                    ExtendedProperty myProperty = new ExtendedProperty(myPropertyName, "value2");

                    ItemId newItemId = service.updateItem(response.getItems().get(i).getItemId(), myProperty);
                }
