Retrieve messages and displaynamed of the folder

Question

Hello,

I would like to retrieve all the messages in my inbox including the displayed name of the folder the messages are in in one call.

So far I onlw find this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-messages?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http that gives me the parentFolderId but not the displayed name of the folder ("inbox" for example)

How can I do?

You can use the PidTagParentDisplay property https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/outlook/mapi/pidtagparentdisplay-canonical-property?WT.mc_id=M365-MVP-10145 which you request as a singleValueExtendedProperties like

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$expand=singleValueExtendedProperties($filter=id%20eq%20'String%200x0E05')  

and it will return eg

           ],  
            "ccRecipients": [],  
            "bccRecipients": [],  
            "replyTo": [],  
            "flag": {  
                "flagStatus": "notFlagged"  
            },  
            "singleValueExtendedProperties@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('1c...0')/messages('A...A%3D')/singleValueExtendedProperties",  
            "singleValueExtendedProperties": [  
                {  
                    "id": "String 0xe05",  
                    "value": "Inbox"  
                }  
            ]
