In one case i had a newly created contact show the exact issue for a customer.\n\nI cannot pinpoint the source of this issue.\nI might have tought the pagination might be wrong, but i created a Test folder with 2'133 Contacts, and all of them have been dumped to the .csv successfully using this code.\n\n> [2026-10-09T13:43:57,859] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Scopes: [https://graph.microsoft.com/.default] \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:57,859] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Setting Up Provider... \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:57,859] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Looking for: [email@example.com]\n> [2026-10-09T13:43:58,098] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] [e.mail@example.com] found! \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:58,189] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Amount in Folder: 2133 \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:59,791] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Fetched: 2133 Contacts \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:59,838] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Writing: 2133 Contacts to File: [/path/to/csv.csv] \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:59,838] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Writing Header \n> [2026-10-09T13:43:59,858] [DEBUG] [] [] [O365 Connector MSGraph] Done Writing \n\nI'm at a loss how to go about this, and can't find anything useful about this isuse.\n\nAny ideas how to go about this?\n\n//edit: I think it's actually close or the same issue as this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70374893/loading-all-contacts-using-the-microsoft-graph-api-sometimes-looses-skips-pages\n\nSincerely\nFabian95qw","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Fabian95qw","@type":"Person","name":"Fabian95qw"},"datePublished":"2026-10-09T11:49:59Z","url":"https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-java/issues/2678"}
