You can use the raw method to use filters. For example: For getting all unread messages in inbox $mails = LaravelGmail::message()->raw('in:inbox is:unread')->preload()->all(); For getting all read messages in inbox $mails = LaravelGmail::message()->raw('in:inbox is:read')->preload()->all();

You can test out the correct filters by using them in the Gmail search box. For more info: Link

It does get my unread emails but I'm getting an empty object as subject and body.

Did you use the preload() function? Preload fetches all the content of mail as mentioned in the README.

I did as you said. I'm getting a payload with sometimes 60 objects.. I've clicked trough 1 and found a subject somewhere.. but the actual data is not presenting a subject and body.

If you want to reduce the number of mails you can use the take() function. Eg: $mails = LaravelGmail::message()->raw('in:inbox is:unread')->take(5)->preload()->all();

After this, you can run a foreach loop on $mails to get the content as mentioned here Eg:

foreach($mails as $mail){
    echo $mail->getSubject();
    echo $mail->getHtmlBody();
}
