ACE support for MS Graph API for email input/output nodes

Our organization is migrating to MS 365 for email and as a part of that the email team is turning off support of POP3 and IMAP for retrieving emails and may eventually remove support for SMTP. In place of those they are requiring the use of the MS Graph API for email connections. We would like support of MS Graph API’s for creating or consuming emails be included in ACE. Whether this is through the existing email input and output nodes or though an App Connect SaaS connector which is ported over to ACE either would be ok with us.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to submit this idea for enhancement which we agree would benefit the product. We see two potential alternate implememtations for this feature request - the existing EmailInput node which is part of the ACE Toolkit codebase could be enhanced to start using the MS Graph API (as opposed to the current pop3 / imap runtime implementation) or alternatively the App Connect Designer Email connector (which is a Loopback connector implementation which has been built on the MS Graph API, but is currently only used to make outbound request calls) could be enhanced to become an Event connector for use as a new Toolkit Input node. This option would involve Toolkit interfaces that look very similar to the new Discovery style message flow nodes which were introduced in 12.0.5.0 and 12.0.6.0. We invite comments from the community should anyone have a preference between these two technology choices. The status of the idea is updated to Future Consideration.
