Outlook REST API - Get logged in user's email address

Question

How do I get the logged in user's email address using Outlook REST API?

I'm using com.microsoft.services.outlook.fetchers.OutlookClient (https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-365-SDK-for-Java/blob/master/sdk/outlook-services/src/main/java/com/microsoft/services/outlook/fetchers/OutlookClient.java).

Is extracting it from the JWT access token the only way (see here and here) ? (Latest changes to tokens here)

Thanks

UPDATE: Following this approach:

Get the Inbox parent folder ID:

mClient.getMe().getMailFolders().getById("Inbox").read()

inboxMailFolderResult.getParentFolderId()
Get the parent folder display name using the ID retrieved

mClient.getMe().getMailFolders().getById("ID_RETRIEVED_AAA==").read()

parentMailFolderResult.getDisplayName()

..doesn't seem to work either, I just get Top of Information Store as display name.

The Office 365 SDK for Java only provide the Outlook service at present. We can also get the email address of the sign-in user through the metadata via making the REST directly. Here is the REST request for your reference:

GET: https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me
authorization: bearer {Token}

You would get the response like below:

Thanks, that's the info I needed. So a simple `mClient.getMe().read()` will work for me. +1 – Gabe Jun 13 '16 at 11:19
There's no way to fetch email aliases also associated with the account is there? – jwg2s Sep 08 '17 at 17:38

Following FeiXue's answer this is the code needed:

Futures.addCallback(mClient.getMe().read(), new FutureCallback<User>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(User result) {
        Log.d("APP", "Logged in user's email address: "+result.getEmailAddress());
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(@NonNull Throwable t) {
        Log.e("Email fetch failure. Cause:", t.getMessage());
    }
});
