If a single message:

message = client.get_message(message_id)
print(message.labels) # ["foo", "bar"]
message.modify(add_labels=["processed"], remove_labels=["foo"]) # Beware that you'll need proper scopes

response = message.reply(reply)- Handle exceptions
Exceptions are part of every developer day-to-day. You may want to handle exceptions as follows:
from gmail_wrapper.exceptions import (
MessageNotFoundError,
AttachmentNotFoundError,
GmailError,
)
try:
do_something()
except MessageNotFoundError as e:
print(f"There is no message! {e}")
except AttachmentNotFoundError as e:
print(f"There is no attachment! {e}")
except GmailError as e:
print(f"Google servers are burning! {e}")Gmail is a trademark of Google. This open-source project is not an official library nor has any endorsement of Google.
