In graph API, how to use $filter with or and eq?

Question

I want to use the Graph API to filter emails from either user1@example.com or user2@example.com.

Referring to the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/filter-query-parameter, I created the following query:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/Inbox/messages?$filter=((from/emailAddress/address) eq 'user1@example.com') or ((from/emailAddress/address) eq 'user2@example.com')

However, this returns only email from user2@example.com. It appears that the query as I have written causes the or operator to not work as expected, and only consider the last operand.

How can I fix my query to make the or operator work properly?

Hello @Aravind Pai ,

With or in Microsoft Graph API, I am able to get messages sent by 2 users.

GET /me/mailFolders/Inbox/messages?$filter=(from/emailAddress/address eq 'email1@example.com' or from/emailAddress/address eq 'email2@example.com')

Here is my test result, using the above Graph API $filter=(from/emailAddress/address eq 'email1@example.com' or from/emailAddress/address eq 'email2@example.com').

Hope this helps.
