//  In my test case, this is the result (see below)
//  Apparently, this lists folders without listing subfolders (aka child folders)
//  There's another REST API call to list child folders.

//  The output from the above loop:

//  	Archive
//  	Deleted Items
//  	Drafts
//  	Inbox
//  	Junk Email
//  	Outbox
//  	Sent Items
