I am working with a mailbox that has emails of different recipients forwarded to it. I am trying to filter messages by the recipient email address using the any filter, but I get the following error:

Client Error: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?%24top=25&%24filter=toRecipients%2FemailAddress%2Faddress%2Fany%28a%3Aa%2FemailAddress+eq+%27uspto%40borris.law%27%29+and+receivedDateTime+gt+2024-06-11T00%3A00%3A00-04%3A00 | Error Message: Invalid filter clause: The parent value for a property access of a property 'emailAddress' is not a single value. Property access can only be applied to a single value. | Error Code:

How can I modify the filter to resolve this issue?

    Hi @Nana Blay Eku-Kintoh

    You cannot filter by toRecipients email address because these properties do not support filtering.

    You can use it in search, tested, this works very well, the test results are as follows:
