Can Graph API be configured on a real time basis to fetch emails? If not, then, if there is a scenario where sender and receiver(sharing sensitive information e.g. Insider trading) permanently deletes an email immediately(once its read) from their mailbox, can these emails be retrieved?
Hello
I think change notifications will be the best option. You can subscribe to e-mail messages and handle them when the message is created, updated, or deleted.

@Azizkhon Ishankhonov We are already using journaling to retrieve email data(on real-time basis). We want to move away from journaling and switch to Graph API. The document provided did talk about the 'Deleted Items' but not on permanently deleted items(SHIFT+DEL). Did microsoft store these permanently deleted emails anywhere on server and can these emails be retrieved via Graph API? Also, if you could please share the comparison(pros and cons) of journaling v/s Graph API.
Change notifications is based on Graph API and it able to work with other Microsoft 365 products.
You may tries following endpoints to retrieve permanently deleted messages:

Hi @Azizkhon Ishankhonov - Thanks for your response. I will share these details with the vendor and hopefully should work now. Thanks for your help.
One quick question - Does MS provide the response of a raw email only in json format and not .eml(which can be directly integrated with third party and downloaded in a readable format i.e. .eml).
As I know, the response contains a Body property(in JSON) where the content of the message will represented as HTML text
It cannot be .eml? Because in journaling its .eml(Correct me if I am wrong).
No, you can. Here is an example:
