Unable to filter messages by recipient in Microsoft Graph Api. One or more invalid nodes - odata

Question

I am trying to get a list of messages that are filtered by recipient from Microsoft Graph API. The url I am using for the request is:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$filter=toRecipients/any(r: r/emailAddress/address eq '[Email Address]')
But I am getting this is the response:
{
"error": {
"code": "ErrorInvalidUrlQueryFilter",
"message": "The query filter contains one or more invalid nodes.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "7db712c3-e337-49d9-aa8d-4a5d350d8480",
"date": "2016-09-28T16:58:34"
}
}
}
A successful request should look like this (with a lot more data that I have omitted).
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#users('99999999-9999-9999-9999-999999999999')/messages",
"#odata.nextLink": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$skip=10",
"value": [
{
"toRecipients": [
{
"emailAddress": {
"name": "[Name]",
"address": "[Email Address]"
}
}
],
}
]
}
The request works if I remove the filter, and I am able to perform requests with simpler filters.
Is there a problem with my URL, or is there another way to make the request?

Answer 1

Another way to make the request might be to not use filter and use search instead, depending on exactly what you want (and you may have already tried this):
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$search="to:[Email Address]"

Answer 2

After several hours looking for the solution, I found in the office365 documentation that the property toRecipients is not filterable:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/complex-types-for-mail-contacts-calendar#MessageResource
I guess that it's the same in the graph api. So the only solution is using search.
