    Depends which Email Id are you trying to search with ? the only Id that would be searchable is the internetmessageId if you have the GraphId/itemid you don't need to search just try a get using the identifier.

    To search using the internetmessageId you can use 

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=internetMessageId eq '<12340@blah1234.onmicrosoft.com>'

    There's actually 3 different ways of searching for messages a Filter, Search and the Graph Search endpoint so for Subject you can use either a KQL query 

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$search="subject:\"Fwd: Subject string to search\""

    or and exact filter match 

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=subject eq 'Subject to search'

    or startswith

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=startsWith(subject,'test')

    or you can also use the search API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/search-concept-messages

    Hi @ASM Automation

    Yes, you can filter messages by date, subject and sender.

    Example:

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=subject eq '{subject}' and sender/emailAddress/address eq '{sender email address}' and sentDateTime ge 2023-05-17T07:28:08Z
