Try out sample REST calls in the Graph Explorer. You can use your own account, or one of our test accounts. Once you're done exploring the API, come back here and select your favorite platform on the left. We'll guide you through the steps to write a simple application to retrieve messages from your inbox.
If your preferred platform isn't listed yet, continue reading on this page. We'll go through the same set of steps using raw HTTP requests.
The purpose of this guide is to walk through the process of calling the Outlook Mail API to retrieve messages in Office 365 and Outlook.com. Unlike the platform-specific getting started guides, this guide focuses on the OAuth and REST requests and responses. It will cover the sequence of requests and responses that an app uses to authenticate and retrieve messages.
This tutorial will use Microsoft Graph to call the Mail API. Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Graph to access Outlook mail, calendar, and contacts. You should use the Outlook APIs directly (via https://outlook.office.com/api
) only if you require a feature that is not available on the Graph endpoints.
With the information in this guide, you can implement this in any language or platform capable of sending HTTP requests.
Use OAuth2 to authenticate
In order to call the Mail API, the app requires an access token from the Microsoft identity platform. Use one of the supported OAuth 2.0 flows to obtain an access token.
Calling the Mail API
Once the app has an access token, it's ready to call the Mail API. The Mail API Reference has all of the details. Since the app is retrieving messages, it will use an HTTP GET request to the https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailfolders/inbox/messages
URL. This will retrieve messages from the inbox.
Refining the request
Apps can control the behavior of GET requests by using OData query parameters. It is recommended that apps use these parameters to limit the number of results that are returned and to limit the fields that are returned for each item. Let's look at an example.
Consider an app that displays messages in a table. The table only displays the subject, sender, and the date and time the message was received. The table displays a maximum of 25 rows, and should be sorted so that the most recently received message is at the top.
To achieve this, the app uses the following query parameters:
- The
$select
parameter is used to specify only thesubject
,from
, andreceivedDateTime
fields. - The
$top
parameter is used to specify a maximum of 25 items. - The
$orderby
parameter is used to sort the results by thereceivedDateTime
field.
This results in the following request.

Mail API Response

Now that you've seen how to make calls to the Mail API, you can use the API reference to construct any other kinds of calls your app needs to make. However, bear in mind that your app needs to have the appropriate permissions configured on the app registration for the calls it makes.

Mail User Guide
Mail can import email messages that have been exported in mbox format from other email apps, and import mailboxes exported from Mail on a Mac. You can export mailboxes in mbox format.
Import mailboxes
In the Mail app on your Mac, choose File > Import Mailboxes.
Select a source in the list, read the information that appears below the list, then click Continue.
If you’re importing a mailbox exported from Mail or a folder in the ~/Library/Mail/V7 folder on another Mac, select Apple Mail. To get to the Mail folder on a Mac, click the desktop to make sure you’re in the Finder, press and hold the Option key, choose Go > Library, then click the Mail folder.
If you’re importing messages from a Windows or UNIX computer, select “Files in mbox format,” then locate the folder containing the files.
Reorganize the imported messages, if you like.
The messages are in a new mailbox called Import in the Mail sidebar. You can drag folders and messages from the Import mailbox to new or existing mailboxes, then delete the Import mailbox.
Export mailboxes
Yahoo Mail App For Mac
In the Mail app on your Mac, select one or more mailboxes, then choose Mailbox > Export Mailbox.
Choose a folder or create a new folder, then click Choose.
Mail exports the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you previously exported a mailbox, Mail doesn’t overwrite the existing .mbox file; it creates a new .mbox file, such as My Mailbox 3.mbox.
