Hello,

Do you guys think it's possible to build a compontent that gets get mails from a shared mailbox and displays them all in a gallery in PowerApps through the component framwork?

I did just follow the guide to build my first component and are not really a pro in this area...

The reason of buildnig this would be to go around the problem that Office365Outlook.GetEmailsV3 only support to get 25 emails. I want the whole Inbox.

So, what do you guys think? Maybe it would be possible to use the exchange API?

Hi @Softbear ,

Do you want to get whole emails from a specific mailbox using Component Framework to overcome the 25 item limits?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think it is not necessary to achieve your needs using PowerApps Component Framework, instead, I think a Custom connector could achieve your needs.

Note: The PowerApps Component Framework is mainly used to custom a code component (control) within PowerApps rather than call REST API.

On your side, you could consider create a custom connector within your PowerApps based on Microsoft Graph REST API, then within the custom conector, define a action to call your Outlook email REST API to retrieve emails within a specific folder for a specific mailbox using the following action path:

GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/mailFolders/{id}/messages

More details about creating a custom connector based on Microsoft Graph REST API, please check the following article:

More details about creating custom connector in PowerApps, please refer to the following article:

Please consider take a try with above solution, check if it could help in your scenario.

Best regards,
