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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

# Use your previously obtained access token here:
# See the following examples for getting an access token:
#    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
#    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
#    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
#    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

$http.AuthToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN"

$sbResponse = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder

# Sends:  GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders
# Note: It is also possible to use the literal string "me" for the current logged-on user.
# For example: GET /me/mailFolders
$http.ClearUrlVars()
$http.SetUrlVar("userPrincipalName","chilkatsoft@outlook.com")
$success = $http.QuickGetSb("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{$userPrincipalName}/mailFolders",$sbResponse)

$($json.Emit())
$("----")

# 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:
$i = 0
$numFolders = $json.SizeOfArray("value")
while ($i -lt $numFolders) {
    $json.I = $i
    $($json.StringOf("value[i].displayName"))
    $i = $i + 1
}

# The output from the above loop:

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