Get message

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Retrieve the properties and relationships of a message object.

You can use the $value parameter to get the MIME content of a message. See also an example below.

There are two scenarios where an app can get a message in another user's mail folder:

  • If the app has application permissions, or,
  • If the app has the appropriate delegated permissions from one user, and another user has shared a mail folder with that user, or, has given delegated access to that user. See details and an example.

Since the message resource supports extensions, you can also use the GET operation to get custom properties and extension data in a message instance.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account) Mail.ReadBasic, Mail.Read
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Mail.ReadBasic, Mail.Read
Application Mail.ReadBasic.All, Mail.Read

HTTP request

To get the specified message:

GET /me/messages/{id}
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/messages/{id}
GET /me/mailFolders/{id}/messages/{id}
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders/{id}/messages/{id}

To get the MIME content of the specified message:

GET /me/messages/{id}/$value
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/messages/{id}/$value
GET /me/mailFolders/{id}/messages/{id}/$value
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders/{id}/messages/{id}/$value

Optional query parameters

This method supports the OData Query Parameters to help customize the response.

Use the $value parameter to get the MIME content of a message.

Request headers

Name Type Description
Authorization string Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Prefer: outlook.body-content-type string The format of the body and uniqueBody properties to be returned in. Values can be "text" or "html". A Preference-Applied header is returned as confirmation if this Prefer header is specified. If the header is not specified, the body and uniqueBody properties are returned in HTML format. Optional.

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and message object in the response body.

Specifying the $value parameter returns the message content in MIME format, and not a message resource.
