// See the following examples for getting an access token:
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).

// 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.

// To iterate over the folders:

// The output from the above loop:

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