Managing Delegation Settings

We're happy to announce that we have now released the new Gmail API delegate settings methods, effectively replacing the long since deprecated Email Settings API delegation settings methods.

You can now use the standard libraries and tools found at https://developers.google.com/gmail/api to interact with the new Gmail delegate settings methods.

We will be publishing a blog post at https://gsuite-developers.googleblog.com raising the visibility of the new delegate settings methods in the coming weeks, but I wanted to personally give you a courtesy heads-up.

Documentation

• Overview/introduction guide: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/delegate_settings

• Reference documentation: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/settings/delegates

• Migration guide (from the deprecated Email Settings API delegation methods): https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/migrate-from-email-settings#managing_delegation_settings

Managing Language and General Settings

As for your concerns regarding the deprecated Email Settings API language settings and general settings methods, DaImTo's answer is correct:

These items are not currently available nor is there any information on when / if they will be.

UPDATE (April 25, 2019):

We have released Gmail API language settings methods, replacing the deprecated Email Settings API language settings feature!

Answer 2

as per Email Settings API (deprecated)

This API is deprecated and will be turned down in Q4 of 2018. Migrate to the Gmail API as soon as possible to avoid disruptions to your application.

The following shows a different date November 15, 2017 it was pushed ahead to allow developers time to make other aragments.

Not available

As per Migrate from email settings

• Managing language settings Languages settings are not yet available via the API.
• Managing delegation settings Delegation settings are not yet available via the API.
• Managing general settings General settings are no longer available via the API.

These items are not currently available nor is there any information on when / if they will be.

As these features have not been added you will need to remove them from your application as you can no longer use them.
