I'm making a small Windows Application for my project. I followed the document of Google and some people in this forum to write a method to read all Gmail messages in "INBOX" of my Gmail. I could get Gmail messages in its body part but I just could get 5 emails instead of all of my email messages. I tried to use the property "MaxResult" to set maximum emails that I wanted to get but nothing happened.

This is my method:

 private async Task GetMAILs()
    {
        try
        {
            UserCredential credential;
            using (var stream = new FileStream("client_secret.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
            {
                credential = await GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
                    GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
                    // This OAuth 2.0 access scope allows for read-only access to the authenticated 
                    // user's account, but not other types of account access.
                    new[] { GmailService.Scope.GmailReadonly, GmailService.Scope.MailGoogleCom, GmailService.Scope.GmailModify },
                    "an thanh",
                    CancellationToken.None,
                    new FileDataStore(this.GetType().ToString())
                );
            }

            var gmailService = new GmailService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
            {
                HttpClientInitializer = credential,
                ApplicationName = this.GetType().ToString()
            });


            //var request = new UsersResource.MessagesResource.ListRequest(gmailService, "me");

            var emailListRequest = gmailService.Users.Messages.List("[email protected]");
            emailListRequest.LabelIds = "INBOX";
            //emailListRequest.IncludeSpamTrash = false;
            emailListRequest.Q = "in:unread in:inbox"; 
            emailListRequest.MaxResults = 100;

            //get our emails
            var emailListResponse = await emailListRequest.ExecuteAsync();

            if (emailListResponse != null && emailListResponse.Messages != null)
            {
                //loop through each email and get what fields you want...
                foreach (var email in emailListResponse.Messages)
                {
                    //FORM.MessageBox.Show(email.Id);
                    //var request = new UsersResource.MessagesResource.ListRequest(gmailService, "me");
                    //IList<Message> messages = request.Execute().Messages;
                    string from = "";
                    string date = "";
                    string subject = "";
                    string decoded = "";


                    var emailInfoRequest = gmailService.Users.Messages.Get("[email protected]",email.Id);
                    //make another request for that email id...
                    var emailInfoResponse = await emailInfoRequest.ExecuteAsync();

                    if (emailInfoResponse != null)
                    {

                        //loop through the headers and get the fields we need...
                        foreach (var mParts in emailInfoResponse.Payload.Headers)
                        {
                            if (mParts.Name == "Date")
                            {
                                date = mParts.Value;
                            }
                            else if (mParts.Name == "From")
                            {
                                from = mParts.Value;
                            }
                            else if (mParts.Name == "Subject")
                            {
                                subject = mParts.Value;
                            }
                        }

                        foreach (var ms_part in emailInfoResponse.Payload.Parts)
                        {
                                if (ms_part.MimeType == "text/plain")
                                {
                                    byte[] data = FromBase64ForUrlString(ms_part.Body.Data);
                                    decoded = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);
                                }
                        }
                    }
                    bd.AppendLine(string.Format("Từ: {0}", from));
                    bd.AppendLine(subject);
                    bd.AppendLine(date);
                    bd.AppendLine("Content: ");
                    bd.AppendLine(decoded);
                    bd.AppendLine("-------End-------");
                    bd.AppendLine("----------------------------------------------------");
                    //now you have the data you want....
                    richTextBox1.Text = bd.ToString();
                }

            }

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            FORM.MessageBox.Show("Failed to get messages!: " + ex.Message, "Failed Messages!", FORM.MessageBoxButtons.OK);

        }
    }

Method to convert Binary data to String:

 public byte[] FromBase64ForUrlString(string base64ForUrlInput)
    {
        int padChars = (base64ForUrlInput.Length % 4) == 0 ? 0 : (4 - (base64ForUrlInput.Length % 4));
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(base64ForUrlInput, base64ForUrlInput.Length + padChars);
        result.Append(String.Empty.PadRight(padChars, '='));
        result.Replace('-', '+');
        result.Replace('_', '/');
        return Convert.FromBase64String(result.ToString());
    }

Method to call Task "GetMAILs()":

 private void btGet_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Test2();
    }
    private async void Test2()
    {
        await GetMAILs();
    }

Sorry I'm just a freshman with Gmail API. I'll be grateful for anyhelp from everyone.

Must be an issue with your filters. You can start by removing this line:

  emailListRequest.Q = "in:unread in:inbox"; 

or change it to:

emailListRequest.Q = "in:inbox"; 

Seems to work when I used it in Users.messages: list Try-it.

Try to change to this:

emailListRequest.Q = "is:unread label:INBOX"

I also try something and this work. You also may use this link to see params alow by gmail API
