How to send queued mail in gmail
In Gmail, you can send queued mail by following these steps:
Method 1: Send queued mail from the Gmail web interface
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page and select "See all settings."
- Scroll down to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
- Click on the "Send mail as" dropdown menu and select "Send mail as your email address."
- Click on the "Queue" button next to the "Send mail as" dropdown menu.
- In the "Queue" window, select the messages you want to send from the list of queued messages.
- Click on the "Send" button to send the selected messages.
Method 2: Send queued mail using the Gmail API
If you have a Gmail account with a large number of queued messages, you can use the Gmail API to send them programmatically. Here's an example of how to do it using the Gmail API:
- Enable the Gmail API in the Google Cloud Console.
- Create a project in the Google Cloud Console and enable the Gmail API.
- Create a service account and generate a private key file.
- Install the Google API Client Library for your programming language of choice (e.g., Python, Java, etc.).
- Use the Gmail API to send the queued messages. You can use the
users.messages.send
method to send a message.
Here's an example of how to send a queued message using the Gmail API in Python:
import base64
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
# Set up authentication
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify']
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file('credentials.json', SCOPES)
credentials = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
service = build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=credentials)
# Set up the message ID of the queued message
message_id = 'your_message_id_here'
# Send the message
response = service.users().messages().send(userId='me', id=message_id).execute()
print(response)
Method 3: Send queued mail using a third-party add-on
There are several third-party add-ons available that allow you to send queued mail in Gmail. Some popular options include:
- Boomerang: A popular add-on that allows you to schedule and send emails later.
- Sanebox: An add-on that helps you manage your email inbox by automatically sending queued messages.
- SaneBlackHole: An add-on that allows you to send queued messages to a specific email address.
These add-ons often have their own user interfaces and settings, so you'll need to consult their documentation for specific instructions on how to send queued mail using their add-ons.
