Empty message body with graph API

When I try to get the message body using graphapi I can't get it even if I extract the id and the number of unread messages I was thinking about permission, but I add the read_inbox permission and when trying the tools of developer the message was saying field is empty or disallowed by the access token, and I have this message saying 

error": {
   "message": "You can only access the \"inbox\" connection for the current user.", 
   "type": "GraphMethodException", 
   "code": 100

My application reads posts, home, inbox, insights and other data of any user who has logged into my application and have given permission to my application to do these things on his/her behalf. I have found following solution and it worked for reading inbox.

graph.facebook.com/USER_ID?fields=threads

The inbox edge has been deprecated and now threads can be used instead. You need read_page_mailboxes for pages and read_mailbox for account to read inbox messages.

As the error message indicates, you probably tried to access the inbox content of a friend. 

graph.facebook.com/USER_ID?fields=inbox

For evident privacy reasons, this is impossible. You can only consult your own inbox:

graph.facebook.com/me?fields=inbox
