I am writing a simple migration tool in which I have to migrate gmail mailboxes to some other email provider. I am confused about raw string returned from gmail api.
In Google document, it says:
- "raw": Returns the entire email message content in the raw field as a URL-safe base64 encoded string and the payload field is not used. This includes the identifiers, labels, metadata, MIME structure, and small body parts (typically less than 2KB).
So this means "raw" returns only small body parts less than 2kb and if the body parts are more than 2KB, there will be a problem. I have checked with some dummy emails containing email body(including inline attachments) more than 2KB, and it still works. It still returns the complete body without any problem. Sorry,if I missed something, please clear my confusion. If "raw" is working fine for all email body sizes , I will be using this approach in my project instead of "full" query parameter.
best regards,
