How to read the email Sent folder by Microsoft Graph correctly?

I am trying to read my email Sent folder.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailfolders('outbox')/messages

in Graph Explorer, I always get a empty array:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('16f5a7b6-5a15-4568-aa5a-31bb117e9967')/mailFolders('outbox')/messages",
    "value": []
}

And when I run

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailfolders

Only Sent folder (Outbox) shows 0 email, but actually there are emails in the folder.

How can I read Sent folder correctly? Thanks

Outbox is not Sent Items. I would expect Outbox to have 0 messages in it almost always, since Outbox only holds messages as they are being sent, so messages only reside there for a very short time.

To get Sent Items, use https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/SentItems.
