Can we get the from/sender and Recipient emails from graph API response?

Question

I'm trying to forward an email if the attachment is not available. I'm able to get the code working up to moving the email to another folder but I can't understand how to get the email addresses.

Below is the code I've written.

if (ErrorFolder.DisplayName == "Error")
{
  var MessageID2 = Message.Id;
  var ErrorFolderId = ErrorFolder.Id;
  
 var MsgDetails = await graphClient.Me.MailFolders["Inbox"]
   .ChildFolders[$"{FirstSubFolderID.Id}"]
   .ChildFolders[$"{SecondSubFolderID.Id}"]
   .ChildFolders[$"{ErrorFolderId}"]
   .Messages[$"{MessageID2}"]
   .Request()
   .Select(em => new
   {
     em.Subject,
     em.From
   })
   .GetAsync();
 //var msg = MsgDetails.From;

 Console.WriteLine("Email Subject: {0}", MsgDetails.Subject);
 Console.WriteLine("From Email: {0}", MsgDetails.From);
}

The from property returns the values like below (according to graph documents).

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('ee4376d7-d243-47a9-9729-dd398d0d1e5a')/mailFolders('inbox')/childFolders('AQMkADRlMDQwMjliLWU5NjItNDE5My05YjQ3LWJlNGRjYwBiZDM0MGEALgAAA2sRhR3zhaNNonFGlS_1NfIBAKdBNt_yapZOqPO2vlH2EfEAAAJOOgAAAA%3D%3D')/childFolders('AAMkADRlMDQwMjliLWU5NjItNDE5My05YjQ3LWJlNGRjY2JkMzQwYQAuAAAAAABrEYUd84WjTaJxRpUvtTXyAQCnQTbfsmqWTqjztr5R9hHxAAAGdVmSAAA%3D')/childFolders('AAMkADRlMDQwMjliLWU5NjItNDE5My05YjQ3LWJlNGRjY2JkMzQwYQAuAAAAAABrEYUd84WjTaJxRpUvtTXyAQCnQTbfsmqWTqjztr5R9hHxAAAdYEb3AAA%3D')/messages(from)/$entity",
    "@odata.etag": "W/\"CQAAABYAAACnQTbfsmqWTqjztr5R9hHxAAAdWOKS\"",
    "id": "AAMkADRlMDQwMjliLWU5NjItNDE5My05YjQ3LWJlNGRjY2JkMzQwYQBGAAAAAABrEYUd84WjTaJxRpUvtTXyBwCnQTbfsmqWTqjztr5R9hHxAAAdYEb3AACnQTbfsmqWTqjztr5R9hHxAAAdYGJwAAA=",
    "from": {
        "emailAddress": {
            "name": "Sandaruwan Samaraweera",
            "address": "sandaruwan.s@pro-account.lk"
        }
    }
}

I want to get the 2 values under from and then use those when I forward the email back to the sender. Can this be done?

You can try this and it worked in my side:

var a = await graphClient.Me.MailFolders["Inbox"]
                .Messages["message_id"]
                .Request()
                .Select(em => new
                {
                    em.Subject,
                    em.From
                })
                .GetAsync();
var b = a.From.EmailAddress.Name;
var c = a.From.EmailAddress.Address;

Can we get the from/sender and Recipient emails from graph API response?
