Microsoft Graph API support for outlook.com

Question

Hi

Only because I have been asked - so be surprised if yes.

Anyway can Microsoft graph be used to search and work with an outlook.com email address.

Eg I can use the graph api to read an users outlook.com mail messages like fred@harsh.com .com

If yes if you could provide some more details on how to configure

Thanks

Hi @Ward Horsfall

To address your issue I have configured this by using outlook account as a Guest user in my tenant. You can invite user as a Guest user in your tenant and he can get all his messages using GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages Graph API endpoint(Please give all the required permissions before running this API). For more details please refer to this documentation. If you want to get messages from a particular user you can use https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=from/emailAddress/address eq 'shivam@******.onmicrosoft.com'
.

You cannot use GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/messages as it will give you "Resource could not be discovered." error for guest users.

Hope this helps,
