Graph API to read archived mails

Question

Hi All,

My requirement is to read archived outlook Emails by Graph API but unfortunately I am not able to achieve it.Please let me know what can I do to achieve this.

I have tried:

1.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/mailFolders/ArchiveMsgFolderRoot/childFolders

Not able to see what extra authorization needed.

Answer 1

Hi Samal, Subhashree,

I tried to replicate the scenario and the error you are facing is because you are using malformed API URL to access mailFolder's subFolders. Please ensure to below endpoint to access user's specific mail folders messages or subfolders

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/******@3b8zzq.onmicrosoft.com/mailFolders/<mailFolderId>/childFolders
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/******@3b8zzq.onmicrosoft.com/mailFolders/<mailFolderId>/messages

Please make sure you replace <mailFolderId> with Id of folder you want to access. Also ensure you provide Mail.ReadBasic application permission to access another user's mailbox.

For more details, please refer List Messgaes

I hope this helps!

You cannot use the Graph API to access content of the Online archive, this is not a supported scenario. If you need programmatic access, use EWS instead.
