toRecipients, bccRecipients and ccRecipients properties are empty

Question

Hi,

We receive many mail message resources with an empty array of toRecipients, bccRecipients and ccRecipients.

I didn't find any documentation about that the recipient resource type might be empty.

How is this possible? even forwarded emails have the to property.

I would appreciate your quick response

Hi @Yechiel Hadad ,

This behavior is by default where you cannot see values of toRecipient and ccRecipient but bccRecipient as null because you can't get the bcc recipients. It defeats the purpose of bcc/blind carbon copy and it aligns with RFC 2822 !!

As per the documentation, please use $select query parameter to get the values of toRecipient and ccRecipient

If you are still facing the issue I would recommend you to raise a support case with Microsoft Graph, a Support Engineer will be able to assist you better. You can raise support ticket from
