Answer 1

Hi @Uthsa Banerjee

I don't think you can set the saveToSentItems property when sending mail using MIME, because MIME is a format for describing mail content and structure, not for controlling mail sending behavior.

The saveToSentItems property should only be specified when sending mail using JSON format.

Hope this helps.

Hello Uthsa Banerjee,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support!

When using the Microsoft Graph API to send an email with MIME content, the saveToSentItems parameter cannot be directly set to false in the same way it can be with JSON content. By default, the sendMail endpoint saves the message to the Sent Items folder.

Currently, there is no built-in support to prevent saving MIME-formatted emails to the Sent Items folder. This limitation means that if you need to avoid saving these emails, you might have to consider alternative approaches, such as using JSON format for your email content where you can setsaveToSentItems to false.

Hope this helps.
