Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Insert Email into GMail Folder

See more GMail REST API Examples

Directly inserts a message into only this user's mailbox similar to IMAP APPEND, bypassing most scanning and classification. Does not send a message.

This example will create a Chilkat Email object and upload/insert it into GMail. Then adds the "INBOX" label to the email to make it appear in INBOX

Rust

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let email = chilkat::Email::new();

// This example chooses to load an email from a file.

    println!("{}", email.last_error_text());
    return;

// Get the email as MIME.

let _ = email.get_mime_sb(&sb_mime);

let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();

http.set_auth_token("GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN");

// Upload to GMail (does not send, but just inserts).

// IMPORTANT: After uploading/inserting, you won't see the message in the Inbox.
// In your web browser, if you go to "All Mail", you will see it.
