 }
    Fields
    id

    string

    The immutable ID of the message.

    threadId

    string

    The ID of the thread the message belongs to. To add a message or draft to a thread, the following criteria must be met:

    1. The requested threadId must be specified on the Message or Draft.Message you supply with your request.
    2. The References and In-Reply-To headers must be set in compliance with the RFC 2822 standard.
    3. The Subject headers must match.
    labelIds[]

    string

    List of IDs of labels applied to this message.

    snippet

    string

    A short part of the message text.

    historyId

    string

    The ID of the last history record that modified this message.

    internalDate

    string ( int64 format)

    The internal message creation timestamp (epoch ms), which determines ordering in the inbox. For normal SMTP-received email, this represents the time the message was originally accepted by Google, which is more reliable than the Date header. However, for API-migrated mail, it can be configured by client to be based on the Date header.

    payload

    object ( MessagePart )

    The parsed email structure in the message parts.

    sizeEstimate

    integer

    Estimated size in bytes of the message.

    raw

    string ( bytes format)

    The entire email message in an RFC 2822 formatted and base64url encoded string. Returned in messages.get and drafts.get responses when the format=RAW parameter is supplied.

    A base64-encoded string.

    MessagePart

    A single MIME message part.

    body

    object ( MessagePartBody )

    The message part body for this part, which may be empty for container MIME message parts.
    parts[]

    object ( MessagePart )
