Mail Parser API Registration
Register a new application using the Azure portal
Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account or a personal Microsoft account.
If your account gives you access to more than one tenant, select your account in the top right corner, and set your portal session to the Azure AD tenant that you want.
In the left-hand navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service, and then select App registrations > New registration.
When the Register an application page appears, enter your application's registration information:
Name - Enter a meaningful application name that will be displayed to users of the app.
Supported account types – select Accounts in this organizational directory Only.
Redirect URI: Enter https://localhost/ as redirect URI.
Select Register.
Figure: Register an Application
Azure AD assigns a unique application (client) ID to your app, and you're taken to your application's Overview page. To add additional capabilities to your application, you can select other configuration options including branding, certificates and secrets, API permissions, and more.

Figure: Azure
Create a new application secret. If you choose not to use a certificate, you can create a new application secret.
Select Certificates & secrets.
Select Client secrets > New client secret.
Provide a description of the secret, and a duration. When done, select Add.
After saving the client secret, the value of the client secret is displayed. Copy this value because you can’t retrieve the key later. You provide the key value with the application ID to sign in as the application. Store the key value where your application can retrieve it.


For API permissions, you need to add additional permissions in order to use Microsoft Graph notifications. Choose Add a permission, and under Microsoft APIs, select Microsoft Graph, and then Provide Delegated and Application permissions.

To grant admin consent when registering an app:
Select API permissions.
Click Grant admin consent.

Notes
Applications call Microsoft Graph using their own identity and not on behalf of a user. These are usually background services or daemon apps that run on a server without the presence of a signed-in user. These apps make use of OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant flow to authenticate and are configured with application permissions, which enable such apps to access all mailboxes in an organization on Exchange Online. For example, the Mail. Read application permission allows apps to read mail in all mailboxes without a signed-in user.
Administrators who want to limit the app access to a specific set of mailboxes can use the New-ApplicationAccessPolicy PowerShell cmdlet to configure access control. Below article covers the basic steps to configure an application access policy. These steps are specific to Exchange Online resources and do not apply to other Microsoft Graph workloads. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-limit-mailbox-access.
