Research direction

Start with docs/general_samples.md and Example 8, then reproduce the copy-paste example using Python 3.10.9 and the listed msgraph-sdk versions. Inspect why msgraph.generated.send_mail cannot be imported; done means the documented example runs without ModuleNotFoundError after the documented installation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Example 8 from the SDK does not work for me (direct copy paste). I get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'msgraph.generated.send_mail' error.

I installed on python 3.10.9 with pip install msgraph-sdk without errors.pi

msgraph-core                         1.0.0a4
msgraph-sdk                          1.0.0a16

Full disclosure: I tried running ; pip install --upgrade 'msgraph-sdk @ git+https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-python.git'
to ensure I have the latest version but this gives me a load of filename too long errors
