Would it make sense to have sensible defaults of $imap = @('SEEN','UNSEEN') if no other parameters are specified (I assume this will return all messages)?.

I can add a PR if that's a reasonable way to go about it.

The full exception:

I'm receiving blanks /null for $msg.Body even though there is content within the bodies in gmail.

Have you seen this error?

Hi,
I have been playing with gmail.ps these last few hours and I have been having issues with the save-attachment command. When I define a $folder = "c:/gmail/"
$gmail | Get-Mailbox -Label "Important" | Get-Message -Unread -HasAttachment -Prefetch | Save-Attachment $folder

the attachments go to the location of the ps1 script under the folder "c".
script location "c:/scripts/gmail.ps1"
location of attachments "c:/scripts/c/"
I was expecting the attachments to be located under "c:/gmail/".
Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
Johnty

Is there any way to make sure that the attachment has been downloaded completely?

I'm trying to download a few particular messages, and they're coming down with a "text/plain" ContentType, basically saying to "enable HTML in your provider". If I View Original in Gmail, I see both the text/plain and text/html content (which is what I want). Am I doing something wrong, or missing something obvious? Thanks!

Same setup as the previous:

Invoke-GmailSession -Credential $mycreds -ScriptBlock {
param($gmail)
$inbox = $gmail | Get-Mailbox
$messages = $inbox | Get-Message | Select-Object -Last 10
foreach ($msg in $messages) {
Update-Message -Session $gmail -Message $msg -Unread
}
}

I had a look in the Gmail.ps.psm1 and tried the -star -unstar flags - these worked fine - however the -Unread did not..

Complete exception:

I tried this on Powershell 2 and Powershell 4 on Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 using different PCs.

This is a sample code:
$EmailUser = '[email protected]'
$EmailUser2 = '[email protected]'
$EmailSubject = "isAlive"
$pw = [System.Convert]::FromBase64String("Base64Password")
$pw = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString($pw)

$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $pw -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($EmailUser, $secpasswd)
$gmail = New-GmailSession -Credential $mycreds

$inbox = $gmail | Get-Mailbox
$inbox | Get-Message -Before "2014-11-30" ## This works fine.
$inbox | Get-Message -After "2014-11-30" ## This does not work.

Using -After gives us this error:

Maybe on the wrong place requested but I am new and dont now where to put it elswhere:

I like to read automaticly only the content (money value in $123.45 format) of the subjectline and show that info in an external counter.

Is Gmail.ps the right program for it?

If yes: Please give an example

Just encountered this after getting the latest version during the Import-Module.

I'm sure I can get around it with the execution policy - but not in a pretty way

Hello,
I want to save the whole email in an locale folder. I have see the functions save and load but I can't right use this functions.

This may very well be a setting in the gmail inbox directly, but upon using the Remove-Message command, the message does not appear in the trash 'folder', it's simply gone gone.

Any clues?

First off - very nice, lightweight, scripting opportunities - couldn't find any other way of getting the body of the mails so effortlessly.

Maybe not a bug - but I tried to find the problem other places without luck.
Pretty much using the Readme.md example I am getting the error as shown above.

script is:
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "---" -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("---", $secpasswd)

Invoke-GmailSession -Credential $mycreds -ScriptBlock {
param($gmail)
$inbox = $gmail | Get-Mailbox
$messages = $inbox | Get-Message | Select-Object -Last 10
foreach ($msg in $messages) {
$msg | Update-Message -Unread
}
}

Am I doing it wrong?

I want to use gmail.ps to parse some of the messages in my inbox, but it doesn't seem to pull the Body. I can see pretty much every other field (Headers, From, To, etc.), so I wonder if this is part of the work-in-progress?

Thanks!

I'm getting an error calling Move-Message:

Exception calling "MoveMessage" with "2" argument(s): "NO [TRYCREATE] No folder All Mail (Failure)"

Full Code:
$gmail = New-GmailSession -Credential $Creds
$inbox = $gmail | Get-Mailbox
$msgs = $inbox | Get-Message -Read -Prefetch
$msgs[0] | Move-Message "All Mail" -Session $gmail

The All Mail folder definitely exists. I've tried the below command and it fines the folder fine:
$allMail = $gmail | Get-Mailbox "All Mail"

If web login required exception occurs then try these two options:

1. Enable less secure apps at https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

2. Unlock the captcha at https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

3. Disable Two-step verification of gmail

I have found that this happens if you use the following switches with any other parameters (-Read** and -Unread).

This is because of an additional space after the criteria string on lines 254 & 256 of Gmail.ps\Gmail.ps.psm1

Kindly help correct these as soon as possible.
Great job.

When I try to install your module with the install.ps1 script i get this error.

Maybe i'm doing it wrong or missing some dependencies that are not mentioned. I haven't really looked into this issue since I currently don't have much powershell knowledge.
