APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
Get the folder collection under the specified folder. You can use the .../me/mailFolders shortcut to get the top-level
folder collection and navigate to another folder.
By default, this operation does not return hidden folders. Use a query parameter includeHiddenFolders to include them in the response.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
