Hey everyone! I'm feeling a bit lost with my script for filtering emails in my mailbox using the Graph API. My goal is to filter out messages based on both the sender's address and the subject line. The filter I have looks like this: `(from/emailAddress/address eq '[email protected]' or sender/emailAddress/address eq '[email protected]') and contains(subject, 'specific phrase')`. Most of my checks work fine, but there are some emails that just aren't being filtered correctly based on the sender's email. Interestingly, if I change the filter to just look for the subject, it works perfectly. I've verified that the sender addresses are correct, but I'm still missing some emails when I include the sender filter in my query. However, using a different query method like `from:[email protected] subject:specific string` does return the correct emails. Has anyone experienced this before? Is it a bug or is there something I'm overlooking? I'd love to share my script for context, so let me know if that helps!

Have you tried checking the output of your filter right before it's executed? You could add a `Write-Verbose` for the `$Filter` variable. Also, you might want to test the same filter with `Invoke-MgRequest` to see if the results differ. Sometimes it's just a bug in the command that's causing unexpected behavior.
I'll take a closer look at my setup tomorrow. I think I might have experienced something similar in the past.
I totally understand your frustration. I had a similar experience. I recommend checking Microsoft's documentation on the filter query parameters. I don't see anything wrong with your filter setup, but it's a good resource to have for future reference. I can test it out tomorrow to see if I can replicate the issue.
Instead of adding checks like `![String]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($From)` throughout the script, consider validating parameters at the beginning with `[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]`. It cleans up the code a lot and makes it easier to read! Just keep in mind this doesn't directly solve your filtering issue.
