使用草稿
透過集合功能整理內容
你可以依據偏好儲存及分類內容。
草稿是指套用 DRAFT
系統標籤的未傳送訊息。
草稿建立後,您無法編輯其中的訊息,但可以替換訊息。就這個意義來說,草稿資源只是提供穩定 ID 的容器,因為基礎郵件 ID 會在每次郵件遭到取代時變更。
草稿中的訊息資源與其他訊息的行為類似,但有以下差異:
- 草稿郵件只能有
DRAFT
系統標籤,不得有其他標籤。
- 傳送草稿後,系統會自動刪除草稿,並建立含有更新 ID 的新郵件,且附上
SENT
系統標籤。這則訊息會以 drafts.send
回應的形式傳回。

建立郵件草稿
應用程式可以使用 drafts.create 方法建立草稿。一般程序如下:
- 建立符合 RFC 2822 規範的 MIME 郵件。
- 將訊息轉換為 base64url 編碼字串。
- 建立草稿,並將
drafts.message.raw
欄位的值設為編碼字串。
以下程式碼範例示範了這個流程。
更新草稿
與建立草稿類似,如要更新草稿,您必須在要求主體中提供 Draft
資源,並將 draft.message.raw
欄位設為包含 MIME 訊息的 base64url 編碼字串。由於訊息無法更新,草稿中的訊息會遭到毀損,並由更新要求中提供的新 MIME 訊息取代。
如要擷取草稿中目前的 MIME 郵件,請使用參數 format=raw
呼叫 drafts.get
。
詳情請參閱 drafts.update
。
傳送草稿
傳送草稿時,你可以選擇傳送原始訊息,或是傳送更新後的訊息。如要使用新訊息更新草稿內容,請在 drafts.send
要求的內文中提供 Draft
資源;設定要傳送的草稿 draft.id
;並將 draft.message.raw
欄位設為以 base64url 編碼字串編碼的新 MIME 訊息。詳情請參閱 drafts.send
。

In this sense, the\n[draft resource](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts) is simply a container\nthat provides a stable ID because the underlying message IDs change every time\nthe message is replaced.\n\n[Message resources](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages) inside a draft\nhave similar behavior to other messages except for the following differences:\n\n- Draft messages cannot have any label other than the `DRAFT` system label.\n- When the draft is sent, the draft is automatically deleted and a new message with an updated ID is created with the `SENT` system label. This message is returned in the [`drafts.send`](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/send) response.\n\nContents\n--------\n\nCreating draft messages\n-----------------------\n\nYour application can create drafts using the\n[drafts.create](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/create) method. The\ngeneral process is to:\n\n1. Create a MIME message that complies with [RFC 2822](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt).\n2. Convert the message to a base64url encoded string.\n3. [Create a draft](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/create), setting the value of the `drafts.message.raw` field to the encoded string.\n\nThe following code examples demonstrate the process. \n\n### Java\n\ngmail/snippets/src/main/java/CreateDraft.java \n[View on GitHub](https://github.com/googleworkspace/java-samples/blob/main/gmail/snippets/src/main/java/CreateDraft.java) \n\n```java\nimport com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonError;\nimport com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException;\nimport com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestInitializer;\nimport com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;\nimport com.google.api.client.json.gson.GsonFactory;\nimport com.google.api.services.gmail.Gmail;\nimport com.google.api.services.gmail.GmailScopes;\nimport com.google.api.services.gmail.model.Draft;\nimport com.google.api.services.gmail.model.Message;\nimport com.google.auth.http.HttpCredentialsAdapter;\nimport com.google.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredentials;\nimport java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;\nimport java.io.IOException;\nimport java.util.Properties;\nimport javax.mail.MessagingException;\nimport javax.mail.Session;\nimport javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;\nimport javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;\nimport org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;\n\n/* Class to demonstrate the use of Gmail Create Draft API */\npublic class CreateDraft {\n /**\n * Create a draft email.\n *\n * @param fromEmailAddress -

Because\nmessages cannot be updated, the message contained in the draft is destroyed\nand replaced by the new MIME message supplied in the update request.\n\nYou can retrieve the current MIME message contained in the draft by calling\n[`drafts.get`](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/get) with the parameter\n`format=raw`.\n\nFor more information, see\n[`drafts.update`](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/update).\n\nSending drafts\n--------------\n\nWhen sending a draft, you can choose to send the message as-is or as with an\nupdated message. If you are updating the draft content with a new message,\nsupply a `Draft` resource in the body of the\n[`drafts.send`](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/send) request; set the\n`draft.id` of the draft to be sent; and set the `draft.message.raw` field to the\nnew MIME message encoded as a base64url encoded string. For more\ninformation, see [`drafts.send`](/workspace/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/drafts/send)."]]
