Now I have access token

So I am looking for to get all folders name with their respective folder Id.

Answer 1

If you only want to get the folder name and folder Id, you can use the following api call:

$http.get("https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/MailFolders/$select=Id,ChildFolderCount,DisplayName")

Since the above api, only returns main folders, I strongly suggest that you also select ChildFolderCount and add a check in the response, if ChildFolderCount>0, then get the subfolders of the parent by the following call:

$http.get("https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/MailFolders/"+parent.Id+"/childfolders?$top="+parent.ChildFolderCount)

where parent is the folder with ChildFolderCount>0.

Answer 2

The folder resource has a DisplayName property, so that should get what you want. ( Reference ).

You can also explore the API over at https://oauthplay.azurewebsites.net/ . For example, I did a GET on https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/mailfolders , and this is an example of the result:

{
  "Id": "AQMkAGZjYmY1ZTIwLWI1M2UtNGNkYS05MGQyLTQyMgBjYTliODJhNTIALgAAA6Ii1CwFSf1Ai6F6MypimPkBAGTbcv4AqpNHlH0kubDE5QwAAAIBDwAAAA==",
  "DisplayName": "Drafts",
  "ParentFolderId": "AQMkAGZjYmY1ZTIwLWI1M2UtNGNkYS05MGQyLTQyMgBjYTliODJhNTIALgAAA6Ii1CwFSf1Ai6F6MypimPkBAGTbcv4AqpNHlH0kubDE5QwAAAIBCAAAAA==",
  "ChildFolderCount": 0,
  "UnreadItemCount": 2,
  "TotalItemCount": 9
}
