Is there a function in Google app script to get an array of all sent mails

Question

I am developing a add-on program in google app script which gets all the gmail sent mails with there subject, body, attachment(if any). I have did this for the Inbox mail using getInboxThreads() function. Is there a function which does same for sent mails?

The program that i am writing is for any gmail user or a group of users how wants to save their gmail emails on the google drive for monitoring or any other operations.

To summarize from the linked answer, you can use the list method (Documentation here), adding SENT as the labelIds parameter. To use thgis from an Apps Script you will need to enable Google Advanced Services — AMolina
@DaImTo yes, which is why I added the comment, the approach is the same however. Would that not make it a duplicate? — AMolina

You can use the user.messages.list method to get a list of all the message ids for the user. You will then have to use user.messages.get To get the data about the message.

You can use the 'q': 'in:sent' parameter to get only the messages in the sent folder.

function myFunction() {
  var myMessages=Gmail.Users.Messages.list("me",{'maxResults': 5 , 'q': 'in:sent' }).messages;
  Logger.log(myMessages);
  for(var i=0;i<myMessages.length;i++){
    var id=myMessages[i].id;
    Gmail.Users.Messages.get('me', id).payload.headers.forEach(function(e){
      if(e.name=="Subject"||e.name=="From"){
        Logger.log(e.name+": "+e.value)
      }
     }
    );
  }
}
