## Gmail Query Syntax
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The library supports Gmail's search syntax for message queries:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust path=null start=null
|
||||||
|
// Date-based queries
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("older_than:1y"); // Older than 1 year
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("newer_than:30d"); // Newer than 30 days
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("after:2023/1/1"); // After specific date
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Label-based queries
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("label:promotions"); // Has promotions label
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("-label:important"); // Does NOT have important label
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Content queries
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("subject:newsletter"); // Subject contains "newsletter"
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("from:noreply@example.com"); // From specific sender
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Combined queries
|
||||||
|
client.set_query("label:promotions older_than:6m -is:starred");
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Performance & Limits
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Pagination
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Default page size: 200 messages
|
||||||
|
- Use `client.set_max_results(n)` to adjust
|
||||||
|
- Use `client.get_messages(0)` to get all pages
|
||||||
|
- Use `client.get_messages(n)` to limit to n pages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rate Limits
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The library uses the official `google-gmail1` crate
|
||||||
|
- Built-in retry logic for transient errors
|
||||||
|
- Respects Gmail API quotas and limits
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Batch Operations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Batch delete/trash operations are more efficient than individual calls
|
||||||
|
- Operations are atomic - either all succeed or all fail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Logging
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The library uses the `log` crate for logging:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust path=null start=null
|
||||||
|
use env_logger;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Initialize logging
|
||||||
|
env_logger::init();
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Set log level via environment variable
|
||||||
|
# RUST_LOG=cull_gmail=debug cargo run
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Log levels:
|
||||||
|
- `error`: Critical errors
|
||||||
|
- `warn`: Warnings (e.g., missing labels, dry-run mode)
|
||||||
|
- `info`: General information (e.g., message subjects, action results)
|
||||||
|
- `debug`: Detailed operation info
|
||||||
|
- `trace`: Very detailed debugging info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Security Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### OAuth2 Token Storage
|
||||||
|
- Tokens are stored in `~/.cull-gmail/gmail1` by default
|
||||||
|
- Tokens are automatically refreshed when expired
|
||||||
|
- Revoke access in [Google Account settings](https://myaccount.google.com/permissions)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required Scopes
|
||||||
|
The library requires the `https://mail.google.com/` scope for full Gmail access.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Credential File Security
|
||||||
|
- Store credential files securely (not in version control)
|
||||||
|
- Use restrictive file permissions (600)
|
||||||
|
- Consider using environment variables in production
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Authentication Issues
|
||||||
|
1. Verify credential file path and format
|
||||||
|
2. Check OAuth2 client is configured for "Desktop Application"
|
||||||
|
3. Ensure redirect URI matches configuration
|
||||||
|
4. Clear token cache: `rm -rf ~/.cull-gmail/gmail1`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### No Messages Found
|
||||||
|
1. Verify label names exist: `client.show_label()`
|
||||||
|
2. Test query syntax in Gmail web interface
|
||||||
|
3. Check for typos in label names or query strings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rate Limiting
|
||||||
|
1. Reduce page size: `client.set_max_results(100)`
|
||||||
|
2. Add delays between operations
|
||||||
|
3. Check [Gmail API quotas](https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/quota)
