Send-MgUserMail

Module:
Microsoft.Graph.Users.Actions Module

Send the message specified in the request body using either JSON or MIME format. When using JSON format, you can include a file attachment in the same sendMail action call. When using MIME format: This method saves the message in the Sent Items folder. Alternatively, create a draft message to send later. To learn more about the steps involved in the backend before a mail is delivered to recipients, see here.
