I have a scenario where I have to read a mail sent out by a X person with a specific subject, which i will be receiving on a daily basis.
Is there any JAVA Gmail APi provided by google to retrieve the recent mail that i have received.
And also is there a way to retrieve the mail for a given date?
Yes there's a Gmail API and it has a Java client library, you can check the Quickstart to get used to it.
Now, for retrieving a list of mails you will need to use the Users.messages: list endpoint ( There's also a Java example on how to use that endpoint). Answering your question about retrieving certain emails, you will need to use the q parameter and set the values there as if you would be searching an email in the gmail search bar. I will leave you an example that you can try using the Try this API:
List emails from certain user and date.
Notice
You will only get the email's IDs, for getting more info about an email, you will have to use the Users.messages: get endpoint.

I have the following use case in my app:
When a specific event happens in the app all interested users should be notified by email. Then if a user replies to the email, his reply should be shown in the event page in the app.
My initial idea was to create a temp mail alias of the main notification email every time when an event happens and send the notification email with that alias set in the Reply-To header. Then if someone replies to that mail by using the alias (let's say csa123423#mydomain.com) I can figure out which event this reply refers to.
It turned out that Spring's JavaMailSender doesn't provide a way to use aliases, so I tried with Gmail API. As far as I understood creating a Gmail alias means actually setting an already existing email in your domain as an alias for another already existing email in that domain. So the Java code to achieve this using Directory API and Gmail API would look like this:
User newUser = new User();
UserName userName = new UserName();
userName.setGivenName("xsd");
userName.setFamilyName("ewrewr");
newUser.setPrimaryEmail("bbb34262bb45#mydomain.com");
newUser.setPassword("12345");
newUser.setName(userName);
User result = directoryService.users().insert(newUser).execute();
SendAs sendAs = new SendAs().setSendAsEmail("bbb34262bb45#mydomain.com").setReplyToAddress("bbb34262bb45#mydomain.com").setDisplayName("My name").setTreatAsAlias(true);
SendAs sendAsResult = gmailService.users().settings().sendAs().create(user, sendAs).execute();
MimeMessage emailContent = createEmail("mymail#gmail.com", "bbb34262bb45#mydomain.com", "Test from app", "Test body");
Message message = createMessageWithEmail(emailContent);
message = gmailService.users().messages().send(user, message).execute();
But as far as I know there are some limits on the number of accounts you can create per domain/account and also Google would charge more for this.
Is there another easier way to create aliases in Gmail? Or is there another approach to achieve the desired functionality (linking mail replies to application content) without using mail aliases?
Try leveraging '+' functionality given by Gmail for creating temporary aliases.
The basic idea is if my email id is xyz#gmail.com, I can send/receive an email with xyz+1#gmail.com or xyz+anything_here#gmail.com and it will work like a charm.
You can utilize this by keeping the alias/unique-id after the '+' in the Gmail id and then parse this alias easily in your application.
I making one application that can send different email, but the email address depends of the user. I'm using mailjet to do this, after reading the doc, it's seem that i have to add every email for have the right to send email from this address, but this address are not generate by me (they are gmail, toto, etc)
I already use the Java API of mailjet to add user, and this part is working fine
But my problem is when the validation email arrive, and the person follow the link, mailjet ask to login, but he do not know what to do, because normally is my own account, i only what to add their email address to have the right to send email with them.
So the question, is how i can add email address (from gmail, yahoo...) and activate the user, without the login part.
Thanks for having choosen Mailjet to power your email!
I believe the right setup for you would be to use the Sender header. It will allow you to send email from a unique (or multiple, depending of your setup) pre-validated sender email addresses while setting the From email header to the email you want to send the email from.
In your recipients Inbox, it will display as foobar#gmail.com via notifications#mycompany.com, indicating clearly to the recipient that you're sending on behalf of foobar#gmail.com. This way, you won't be forced to validate each email address, just ones you'll
This is a very common setup for resellers and platforms sending a lot of personalised email.
In order to achieve this, please contact our [support team](https://app.mailjet.com/support] with a reference to our discussion here so they know what we're talking about. They'll guide you to the implementation it.
Hope it helps,
Best.
Im creating an application to login in Google+ and get friends emails.
Im authenticating succesfully and get token back , but when i fetch friends list , the user class of any single friends has emails=null...
here is the code (After already signed in and get authenticator class):
// Generated libraries for Google APIs
using Google.Apis.Authentication.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Authentication.OAuth2.DotNetOpenAuth;
using Google.Apis.Services;
using Google.Apis.Util;
using Google.Apis.Plus.v1;
using Google.Apis.Plus.v1.Data;
// For OAuth2
using DotNetOpenAuth.Messaging;
using DotNetOpenAuth.OAuth2;
//....code for authentication skipped ....
//...callback from json (authentication success)
PlusService ps = new PlusService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
Authenticator = authenticator
});
PeopleFeed peopleFeed = ps.People.List("me", PeopleResource.CollectionEnum.Visible).Fetch();
//After that when i inspect peopleFeed[0].Emails <--- this is null..
any help?
The Google+ API only returns public information. So even if you are permitted to see a person's email address, it does not necessarily mean that the information is public and that it will be returned.
Furthermore, the documentation at https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/list only guarantees that the list of people returned will contain the person's
id
displayName
image
url
and that to get other information about the person, you will need to do a people.get against that ID. But, again, note that you may still not get their email if that information isn't public.
You could also use the Contacts v3 API to get friend's email addresses. You can cross map this to Google+ contacts by looking at the gContact:website element for the contact that comes back in the XML response:
<gContact:website href='http://www.google.com/profiles/1234567890' rel='profile'/>
In that element's href attribute, 1234567890 is the person identifier that would match the id field of the relevant person resource from people.list of the Google+ API.
Note that the profile link is not guaranteed to come back for a contact entry. This occurs when the contact has not been linked to a Google+ profile.
My first guess would be that it's a rights management issue. I remember when I asked for my Google API key, I had to mention what information I want to get.
Could you check your API key settings in the Google Developer network and see if you need to enable it there?
I'm developing Android mail client. I need to build a "conversation" structure for every email message. I use the
IMAPMessage.getInReplyTo()
method that returns the Message ID of message which the message is a reply to. Unfortunatelly there seems to be no easy way to obtain message from
IMAPFolder
using its message ID. It is only possible to get the message by its UID. Is there an easy way to get the IMAP message by its Message ID?
You can use the IMAPFolder's search method like this:
SearchTerm searchTerm = new MessageIDTerm(messageId);
Message[] messages = imapFolder.search(searchTerm);
See the docs for the IMAPFolder's search method here:
https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/imap/IMAPFolder.html#search-javax.mail.search.SearchTerm-
and for the MessageIDTerm class here:
https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/javax/mail/search/MessageIDTerm.html
unfortunately there is no straight forward solution... May be what you can try is to maintain an internal structure with body structures of all the mail ids and then perform a one on one Message-ID check and obtain the UID of mail. Anyways you would be doing it, in order to show the Maillist. Add a new logic to map the message-ids as well.
i have a java application that sends group mail with a link (Only Gmail), i need to get the mailId of the person who clicks the link in the mail, and based on the mailId it should login to may application, is there any api for connecting, or what should i follow.
Thanks in advance.
Gmail sanitisd the links as best as they can. You will have to generate unique link for each user and map that to gmail account in your database. For example, add a query parameter id=12345 to your link like : http://yourdomain.com/app/?id=12345
