' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' Use your previously obtained access token here:
http.AuthToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN"

' This example will search /Inbox for a message we want to delete.
' First we need to get the folder ID for /Inbox.
' Then we'll search for messages based on some criteria, and delete the matching messages.

' Get the folder ID for /Inbox from the folder map created by this example 
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Hashtable")

success = http.SetUrlVar("folder_id",folderId)
success = http.SetUrlVar("select","id,subject")
success = http.SetUrlVar("filter","contains(subject,'Amazon SES')")
