API to receive all email messages?

[Michael Gawrychowski]

Hi, I'm working on a project that will pull all messages from the ALL MAIL folder in Gmail. Is there any API to do that? I used imap to access the mailbox but for large folders the process timeouts after 45mins so it would be great if it was an API for this. 

Thanks

Michael G.

Hi Michael,

Gmail doesn't expose a dedicated API but, as you already know, it supports the standard IMAP protocol:

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/oauth_overview

Perhaps you can rely on sending multiple requests instead of a single one that might take a lot of time.

Also consider Context.IO - not a Google product, but a very helpful API for email that works great with Gmail.

Hi Claudio, I found some information about the Audit Api and it looks like it allows to download the whole mailbox. Would it be possible to download all messages then and process them on a local machine? 

[Claudio Cherubino]

Hi Michael,

It is technically possible, but please note that the Email Audit API can only be used for legal compliance.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'd recommend to ask one before using that API for any other reason.

Hello Cooper, do you have an idea what do they use to pull the messages? Do they use standard IMAP or any Googe APIs?

Hi Claudio,

I'm looking for a technical way to achieve the result. Can you think of any other way of accessing the mailbox without using IMAP? I found some information about Gmail APi but it looks like it allows to pull only the UNREAD messages.

Hi Michael,

Our recommendation is to use IMAP, I can't think of a better approach that doesn't use IMAP.

Michael,

Don't forget that Google have hard limits on Imap usage.

OAUTH IMAP I believe - but I encourage you to ask them - they are very accessible, and nice people too! Say Hi to Sarah Jane for me  ; )

Hi Claudio, 

Standard IMAP protocol works well for get all personal emails.

My question is : How can a Google Apps Domain use to access other users' email by IMAP (or other protocol)? 

I Google this for quite some time, still get no clue. Please help. Thanks.
