which headers are you looking to get? GetMessageRawHeader is slow and is not recommended to use. You can try using the yql search table (ymail.search) if ListMessages doesn't give you all the headers.

I need all of the envelope data, with complete To/From/CC data. The ListMessages endpoint only returns to and from, and then it will often return names instead of addresses. If I use ymail.search, what should I search on? Will that be faster and return the real headers?

Any chance of getting some help here?

Can you tell what all queries you tried? You can use "keyword" search. You can do something like this' for messages in Inbox.

I meant you can go to the yql console and type select * from ymail.search where keyword=' '

Hi Ram, that doesn't seem to solve my problem, since I don't want to search by keyword. I tried your suggestion with an empty keyword and it returns no results.

What I'm trying to do is pull the complete envelope data (timestamp, and all to/from/cc/bcc addresses) for all of a user's emails in the past three months. I've run into a number of problems in trying to do that, including:

• On the webservice API, GetMessageRawHeader is very slow, as described in my message above.
• Other endpoints on the webservice API like ListMessages return MessageInfo objects that don't include the full envelope data. They only contain to and from, and from often contains a name rather than an address.
• Using the YQL API, I tried pulling the data through ymail.msgcontent, and while that includes the data I need it quickly hits what looks like rate limiting but isn't labeled as such. The documents simply come back with no results. When this happens, I've noticed that the webservice API starts returning HTML indicating a temporary problem on your end.

Looks like the forum has a problem and it striped what i typed in the keyword section and doesn't seem to even help with the linking. Try this and see if it works.

Hi Ram,

Is there a way to request other message headers (not included to the envelope) through YQL?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ram,

What does the "folder=1" part of that query do? What I need to do is:

• Pull the last 30 days of email from all folders
• Then periodically pull any new emails in all folders that have come in since the last pull

Is there a way to acheive that with this query?

Thanks, Aubrey

What do you mean by other message headers? If you need all headers the only way is to get it using GetMessageRawHeaders?

Thank you.
