list-mail-folders
Read-only
List mail folders directly under the root mailbox folder. Supports including hidden folders, pagination, filtering, and search via Graph API parameters.
Instructions
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.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeHiddenFolders | No | Include Hidden Folders | |
| top | No | Page size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more rows, use @odata.nextLink from the response instead of a very large $top. | |
| skip | No | Items to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search. | |
| search | No | KQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter. | |
| filter | No | OData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search. | |
| count | No | Set true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains(). | |
| orderby | No | Sort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc | |
| select | No | Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime | |
| expand | No | Expand related entities | |
| fetchAllPages | No | Follow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search. | |
| includeHeaders | No | Include response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata | |
| excludeResponse | No | Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication |
