Mail Handling via Graph API by Microsoft
I am writing to highlight the technical advantages of using Microsoft Graph API over SMTP for our email services:
Unified Endpoint:
Graph API provides a single endpoint for accessing a wide range of Microsoft 365 services, streamlining integration and reducing complexity.Enhanced Security:
Utilizes OAuth 2.0 for authentication, offering stronger security measures compared to SMTP's basic authentication.Rich Data Access:
Access to not just emails, but also metadata, user profiles, and more, enabling comprehensive application development.Real-time Capabilities:
Supports webhooks and delta queries for real-time data updates, ensuring immediate synchronization.Simplified Development:
Consistent API with extensive documentation and SDKs, reducing development time and effort.Improved Error Handling:
Provides detailed error messages and status codes, facilitating easier diagnosis and resolution of issues.Scalability and Performance:
Designed for high-volume requests, offering better scalability and performance than SMTP.Additional Features:
Advanced features like message tracking, categorization, and search capabilities, enhancing email management.
Transitioning to Microsoft Graph API can enhance our email infrastructure's security, flexibility, and functionality. I recommend we explore its implementation.

Isn't this enabled? I saw an option in the Mail Handling integration, although I didn't see any detailed documentation for how to implement it.
