List mailFolders

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get the mail folder collection directly under the root folder of the signed-in user. The returned collection includes any mail search folders directly under the root.

By default, this operation does not return hidden folders. Use a query parameter includeHiddenFolders to include them in the response. This operation does not return all mail folders in a mailbox, only the child folders of the root folder. To return all mail folders in a mailbox, each child folder must be traversed separately.

[!INCLUDE national-cloud-support]

Permissions

To include hidden mail folders in the response:

GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders/?includeHiddenFolders=true

Optional query parameters

To return a list of all mailFolders including those that are hidden (their isHidden property is true), in the request URL, specify the includeHiddenFolders query parameter as true, as shown in the HTTP request section.

This method supports OData query parameters to help customize the response.

Tip

If a collection exceeds the default page size (10 items), the @odata.nextLink property is returned in the response to indicate more items are available and provide the request URL for the next page of items.

You can control the page size through optional query string parameters

Example 2: Include hidden folders in the signed-in user's mailbox

This example uses the includeHiddenFolders query parameter to get a list of mail folders including hidden mail folders. The response includes the "Clutter" folder that has the isHidden set to true.
