Mark as read mail method

Question

How do I mark mail as read using Gmail API?

I got the thread of email

Thread thread = service.users().threads().get(userId, message.getThreadId()).execute();

but it does not have method markRead like gmail API site says it should.

Answer 1

use either threads.modify() or messages.modify() (depending on scope of what you want to do) and removeLabelId of "UNREAD".
