Description
Describe the bug
I am using Delta handling against a mail folder and have found that consistently if older messages are added to the folder the delta query will return them twice in the result
Expected behavior
Expectation is that the delta call would only return a message once
How to reproduce
Reproduction-
(dates of the emails added to highlight the problem, not specifically needed to reproduce)
Folder with 1 email (14/01/2026)
Client.Me().MailFolders().ByMailFolderId(folderId).Messages().Delta().GetAsDeltaGetResponse() against the folder
- returns 1 email plus the delta link for use later
move 2 more recent (20/01/2026 ) emails into the folder
Client.Me().MailFolders().ByMailFolderId(folderId).Messages().Delta().WithUrl(deltaLink).GetAsDeltaGetResponse()
- returns 2 emails and new delta link
move 2 older emails (09/01/2026, 22/12/2025) into the folder
Client.Me().MailFolders().ByMailFolderId(folderId).Messages().Delta().WithUrl(newdeltaLink).GetAsDeltaGetResponse()
- returns 4 emails (2x each of the emails it should be returning) and new delta link

Research direction
Start with the Delta().GetAsDeltaGetResponse() and Delta().WithUrl(deltaLink).GetAsDeltaGetResponse() calls described in the reproduction, and trace how the returned items and delta links are handled. Reproduce the sequence of adding newer and then older messages to a mail folder. Done means each changed message appears once in the delta response with a usable new delta link.
