No way to retrieve messages by external ID #15

Closed Travers closed 12 years ago

You can assign an external ID to a message on creation, but you cannot retrieve a message by exernal_id.

@johnomoore and others...

What is a good use case for using an external ID when retrieving a message? I can see supplying one when creating a message (for idempotence), but since only chrome apps can read the account inbox, they would not have access to these external IDs unless they created the message to begin with.

Does not make sense to add this in, but will provide more info on message creation per #17
