I am trying to restore outlook message using Microsoft Graph API. I am fetching the message JSON object using
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{folderId}/messages/{messageId}?$expand=attachments($expand=microsoft.graph.itemAttachment/item)
call, and trying to do a post request on
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{folderId}/messages/
with the response returned from the previous request. But the embedded message (original email attachment) is getting saved as draft and its attachments are missing.
Earlier the message was also getting saved as draft, but found a solution from the link for putting message flag.
Fetch response
