Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\Services\Message\Mail::__construct(): Argument #1 ($message) must be of type ?Google_Service_Gmail_Message, Google\Service\Exception given about laravel-gmail

I've temporary solved the problem by disabling the preload function. It seems that Google consider as too many requests when you try to preload a whole inbox. This is unexpected behavior from google anyway.

Hi @stefanofinetti
I've been using this package for the last two years without any problems. However, today, I encountered the same error suddenly, and I'm unsure how to resolve it. When I remove the preload method, I get a different error. But if I use the take(50) method, it works, although it only returns 50 records. If you discover a proper solution, please inform me as my project is currently live.

Here's the code snippet:
$messages = LaravelGmail::message()->preload()->take(50)->after($last_email_sync_date)->all();

Hi @umarzahid028 , this is the snippet of code I'm using right now in a live production environment. We use multiple accounts so you'll find the user auth:

try {
$gmailUser = LaravelGmail::setUserId(Auth::user()->email);

        if ($gmailUser->check()) {

            $messages = $gmailUser->message()->in('INBOX')->all();
            $messaggi = collect($messages);

        } else {
            $messaggi = collect([]);
        }

        $msgPage = new LengthAwarePaginator($messaggi->forPage($request->page, 30), $messaggi->count(), 30, $request->page);
        $msgPage->withPath('/protocollo/posta');

        return view('protocollo.posta', [
            'messaggi' => $msgPage,
        ]);
    } catch (Exception $error) {
        Log::error('Errore accedendo a GMAIL', ['Data' => $error->getMessage()]);
        dd($error);
    }

The actual load of message is done after, in the view, in a foreach loop of all messages and for each call to $message i had to add ->load() before any other command:

$messaggio->load()->getLabels()
$messaggio->load()->->getFromName()

and so on.

This is just a workaround untile preload() will work again (hopefully)

Thank you for your reply.

When I use message()->in('INBOX')->all();, I encounter a "Call to a member function flatten() on null" error.

if ($message && $message->hasAttachments()) { // handle attachments }

[stefanofinetti]

That, i think, it's because you should use $message->load() && $message->load()->hasAttachments()) { // handle attachments }

Without ->load() you stil do not have the message object fully loaded to be used.

[umarzahid028]

Thank you very much! ->load() method is also working for me. Once again, I appreciate you saving my time.
