Office 365 Mail API: Admin access token to access everyone's emails

Is it possible for me to access everyone emails within my company using the Office 365 Mail API? I know I can access individuals, but hat requires me to be granted access to their emails and get their access tokens. I would like to be able to have an admin access token and be able to access everyone's emails. Any ideas whether this is possible or not?

It is possible. We can register a Web application and/or Web API (default, known as a confidential client in OAuth2 parlance) an build a daemon service to retrieve all the messages for organization.

Here is an example that using the client credentials to request the token and get the messages from different users:

string authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/msdnofficedev.onmicrosoft.com";
        string resource = "https://Graph.microsoft.com";
        string clientID = "";
        string clientSecret = "";
        AuthenticationContext ac = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
        AuthenticationResult ar = ac.AcquireToken(resource, new ClientCredential(clientID, clientSecret));

        HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();
        hc.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + ar.AccessToken);
        HttpResponseMessage hrm = await hc.GetAsync("https://Graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/[email protected]/messages/");
        string content=await hrm.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        MessageBox.Show(content);

        HttpResponseMessage hrm2 = await hc.GetAsync("https://Graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/[email protected]/messages/");
        content = await hrm2.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        MessageBox.Show(content);
