Hi @Nagarajan, Divya (External)

Your $filter query parameter format is wrong, the correct filter should be:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=mail eq 'XXXXX@mailinator.com'  

The graph java sdk:

GraphServiceClient graphClient = GraphServiceClient.builder().authenticationProvider( authProvider ).buildClient();  
  
UserCollectionPage users = graphClient.users()  
	.buildRequest()  
	.filter("mail eq 'XXXXX@mailinator.com'")  
	.get();
