问题:

I'm using the Javascript client API with my app and I'm trying to get unread mails from the primary inbox.

If I use the INBOX and UNREAD names when requesting the labels I get all unread mails from all labels.

No other label type name works, I've experimented in APIs explorer and i can't seem to figure out how to manage this.

Am I missing something or is it not possible?

You can try this "in:inbox is:unread -category:(promotions OR social)" as a value for q parameter in messages.list. I tried this in API explorer, and it gave correct results.

I have 4 "UNREAD" mails(or Threads) in my inbox, and response is:

200 OK
