I think a simpler solution would be to query in the Users.messages.list endpoint without the need to create filters.
You can actually use the parameter q to make a query like you would in the GMail searchbox, if not familiar you can look at the whole list of operators.
In fact there is an example to make use of this query parameter in the documentation:
using Google.Apis.Gmail.v1;
using Google.Apis.Gmail.v1.Data;
using System.Collections.Generic;
// ...
public class MyClass {
// ...
/// <summary>
/// List all Messages of the user's mailbox matching the query.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">Gmail API service instance.</param>
/// <param name="userId">User's email address. The special value "me"
/// can be used to indicate the authenticated user.</param>
/// <param name="query">String used to filter Messages returned.</param>
public static List<Message> ListMessages(GmailService service, String userId, String query)
{
List<Message> result = new List<Message>();
UsersResource.MessagesResource.ListRequest request = service.Users.Messages.List(userId);
request.Q = query; // inform this with the right query
do
{
try
{
ListMessagesResponse response = request.Execute();
result.AddRange(response.Messages);
request.PageToken = response.NextPageToken;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: " + e.Message);
}
} while (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.PageToken));
return result;
}
// ...
}
So for your case you just need to add the line
emailListRequest.Q = "has:attachment";
before executing the request, doing like this will not create a whole filter for your account, so maybe it's more convenient for your case.
Thanks so mutch! It's do it !
