(CkPython) Insert Email into GMail Folder

Directly inserts a message into only this user's mailbox similar to IMAP APPEND, bypassing most scanning and classification. Does not send a message.

This example will create a Chilkat Email object and upload/insert it into GMail. Then adds the "INBOX" label to the email to make it appear in INBOX

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# IMPORTANT: After uploading/inserting, you won't see the message in the Inbox.
# In your web browser, if you go to "All Mail", you will see it.
