Permanently Delete a Specific GMail Message

See more GMail REST API Examples

Immediately and permanently deletes the specified message. This operation cannot be undone. (This is not the same as moving a message to Trash.) Rust

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let http = chilkat::Http::new();
http.set_auth_token("GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN");

// The id of the GMail message to delete.
let id = "1669cc9a926bb8c1".to_string();
let user_id = "me".to_string();

let _ = http.set_url_var("userId", "me");
let _ = http.set_url_var("id", &id);

// Delete the email.
let url = "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{$userId}/messages/{$id}".to_string();
let Ok(response_str) = http.quick_delete_str(&url) else {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("status = {}", http.last_status());

// A 204 response indicate success.
// It is common for HTTP DELETE operations to respond with a 204 status code with an empty body for success.
// You'll find many REST APIs follow this custom..
if http.last_status() != 204 {
    println!("{}", response_str);
    println!("Failed.");
    return;
}

println!("Message deleted!");
