Hello,
I have a question regarding the support status of the recoverableitemspurges mail folder in Microsoft Graph v1.0.
According to the Microsoft Graph mailFolder documentation, the list of well-known folder names includes recoverableitemsdeletions, but I could not find any mention of recoverableitemspurges.
However, when testing with Graph Explorer, the following request succeeds:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/recoverableitemspurges
Response:
{ "displayName": "Purges", "wellKnownName": "recoverableitemspurges", "totalItemCount": 0 }
The following request also succeeds and returns an empty collection rather than an error:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/recoverableitemspurges/messages?$top=10
Response:
{ "value": [] }
Based on these results, Microsoft Graph appears to recognize recoverableitemspurges as a valid well-known folder name.
Could Microsoft please clarify the following:
- Is recoverableitemspurges officially supported in Microsoft Graph v1.0?
- Is its use covered by backward compatibility guarantees?
- Is the absence from the mailFolder documentation intentional or a documentation gap?
- Is accessing messages in the Purges folder a supported scenario for application development?
- If not, what is the recommended alternative for accessing Purges content?
Thank you.
