Our team of content authors and reviewers will publish 2 posts per month (2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> Tuesday of each month) on the Microsoft Graph blog. Each post will take 5-10 minutes to read. In the longer term we will accept suggested topics from the community, but we are primarily focusing on internally sourced topics for the first few months.<\/p>\n<p>Please be sure to follow this blog series using <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/MSGraphMailbag\">https:\/\/aka.ms\/MSGraphMailbag<\/a> or with RSS using <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.microsoft.com\/en-us\/graph\/blogs\/feed\/?tag=MSGraphMailbag\">https:\/\/developer.microsoft.com\/en-us\/graph\/blogs\/feed\/?tag=MSGraphMailbag<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is it called \u201cMicrosoft Graph Mailbag\u201d?<\/h3>\n<p>Over the past decades the term \u201cmailbag\u201d has been used by various sources as a way for readers to submit questions \/ topics \/ etc. that the author(s) reads and then selects 1+ to answer on a regular schedule.\u00a0 At the start of this blog series, we will use Microsoft Graph related questions and topics that have come up in discussions with the many partners, customers, and developers that we interact with on a daily basis.\u00a0 Rather than limiting the outcomes to those 1:1 conversations to just those interactions, we think it\u2019s really valuable to share them out as broadly as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Who are we?<\/h3>\n<p>Our initial set of authors come from the Microsoft Graph Customer and Partner Experience (CPx) team, Microsoft 365 Cloud Developer Advocates, Customer Engineers, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>What do I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>In preparation for the blog series it is recommended to have a 100-200 level knowledge of Microsoft Graph, but that is not a requirement.\u00a0 Here are some resources to help you get started:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Microsoft Graph Documentation-<\/strong><a
