mark a message as read by object_id

Hi,

is it possible to mark a message as read by the messages ID?

I have obtained the ID as the below but am unable to use it to mark a message as read it seems?

message obtained by message.object_id

account = Account((credentials.username, credentials.password))
mailbox = account.mailbox()
query = mailbox.new_query().on_attribute('id').contains(message_id)
messages = mailbox.get_messages(limit=1, query=query)

...| Error Message: The property 'Id' does not support filtering.

I assumed I would filter the mailbox then mark that message as read, is there another way?

full_message_object=self.sales_folder.get_message(object_id=message.object_id, download_attachments=True)

If you already have a message object like from .get_messages(limit=1000) and you want to only download attachment’s for certain messages and not all for speed or whatever reason you might have the best solution in that case is using the above code to get attachment, as follows,

if message.has_attachments:
     # fetch the message with message.object_id and download_attachmets=True

I hope you understand.

Hi.

I found other way to patch the message. After investigating further MS Graph I found there are 4 endpoints for patching the message: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/blob/main/api-reference/beta/api/message-update.md#http-request. For me this one worked: PATCH /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders/{id}/messages/{id}. So at the end I ended up using requests module and send PATCH request to the MS Graph. Something like:

def mark_message_as_read(message):
    # Other way to update emails to read
    access_token = get_access_token()

    url = f'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{ACCOUNT}/mailFolders/Inbox/messages/{message.object_id}'
    body = {
        'isRead': True
    }
    headers = {
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
    }

    try:
        response = requests.patch(url, json=body, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return True
    except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as ex:
        pprint.pprint(ex)
        return False
