Allow Graph API access to Archive Mailbox (aka In-place Archive)
Microsoft's official documentation for Graph API access to Archive mailboxes is non-existent, and what people cobble together on public sites like StackOverflow is highly contradictory:
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52991085/how-to-get-messages-from-archived-mailbox-using-ms-graph-api
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36939501/how-to-get-in-place-archive-mailbox-in-exchange-online-using-office-365-apis
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36939501/how-to-get-in-place-archive-mailbox-in-exchange-online-using-office-365-apis
(some say it's impossible, some possible, but suggested solutions don't actually work).
Suggestion:
- If it's possible to access Archive mailboxes (not just the regular archive folder in the normal mailbox!) via Graph API, document it properly.
- If it's not possible, make it possible.
Thanks!

This feature already exists, you can access the archived mailbox by using well-known folder name:
ArchiveMsgFolderRoot
For example, to get messages from the Inbox folder in the Archive Mailbox (aka In-Place Mailbox) you should execute the following query:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<id>/mailFolders/ArchiveMsgFolderRoot/childFolders/Inbox/messages
