Research direction

Start by reproducing the exact /me/messages request in Graph Explorer, including the conversationId, date, to, and from filters. Compare the result with the reported behavior and determine whether the limitation is in the TypeScript SDK or the Outlook API; done means identifying an actionable SDK change or confirming that the service does not support this query.

Description

I am encountering an issue with the Outlook API when trying to use the conversationId parameter in a $search query for email messages.

Console Errors: None

Screenshots: None

Steps to Reproduce

Attempt to retrieve email messages using the /me/messages endpoint.
Utilize a $search query that includes the conversationId parameter, as demonstrated below:
/me/messages?$search="(to:${userEmail} OR from:${userEmail}) AND conversationId:${id} AND received>=${startDate} AND received<=${endDate}"
Observe that the query does not produce the desired results due to the inability to use conversationId with $search.

Expected behavior: I expect to be able to construct a query that enables me to retrieve email messages based on the conversationId parameter using the $search operator.

Actual behavior: The conversationId parameter cannot be effectively employed within a $search query for email message retrieval.

Additional Context

  • The capability to create sophisticated queries is crucial for efficient email message retrieval.
  • This issue may affect users who rely on precise filtering and querying of email messages.
