Outlook -- Create a Mail Folder

See more Outlook Examples

Creates a new mail folder as a child of an existing mail folder. Rust

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Use your previously obtained access token here:
http.set_auth_token("MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN");

// This example will create a new mail folder as a child of /Inbox/abc

// Get the existing folder ID from the folder map created by this example 
let ht_folder_map = chilkat::Hashtable::new();
let sb_map = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = sb_map.load_file("qa_data/outlook/folderMap.xml", "utf-8");
let _ = ht_folder_map.add_from_xml_sb(&sb_map);

let Ok(existing_folder_id) = ht_folder_map.lookup_str("/Inbox/abc") else {
    println!("Folder ID not found");
    return;
};

// Create a JSON request body with this content:
// 
// 	{
// 	  "displayName": "displayName-value",
// 	}

// This example will create /Inbox/abc/subFolderC
let json_request_body = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json_request_body.update_string("displayName", "subFolderC");

let _ = http.set_url_var("folder_id", &existing_folder_id);

// Create the folder "subFolderC" at the specified location.
let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_json("POST", "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{$folder_id}/childFolders", &json_request_body, "application/json", &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// A 201 response indicates success.
if http.last_status() == 201 {
    println!("Folder created.");
} else {
    println!("Response status code = {}", resp.status_code());
    println!("Error: Folder not created.");
}

// Show the response in both cases..
let json_response = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
json_response.set_emit_compact(false);
let _ = json_response.load(&resp.body_str());
println!("{}", json_response.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// A sample successful JSON response looks like this:
