See more Outlook Examples

Demonstrates how to list the messages in a particular Outlook mailbox folder, but selects particular fields to be returned.

This uses the OData $select system query option. See OData System Query Option $select for general information.

Also see OData URL Conventions for information about $select and other query options.
