Gmail-API JAVA Client Send Email Insufficient Permission

Question

I am trying to send email by Gmail. I nearly grant all scope to the service. But I still got the error message, insufficient permission.

Exception in thread "main" com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 403 Forbidden

{
  "code" : 403,
  "errors" : [ {
    "domain" : "global",
    "message" : "Insufficient Permission",
    "reason" : "insufficientPermissions"
  } ],
  "message" : "Insufficient Permission"
}

Answer 1

Need to delete C:\Users\user.credentials Because I run for many times. For first times, I did not grant the full right.

Answer 2

If you take a look at this answer. It should answer your question. I cannot post the answer here because it is illegal to post a duplicate. This worked for me. Found this after a long time of searching. Let me know if it worked for you too. https://stackoverflow.com/a/39639526/1317559

Answer 3

Delete C:\Users\user.credentials and change your scopes according to what you need.

SCOPES = Arrays.asList(GmailScopes.GMAIL_LABELS, GmailScopes.GMAIL_INSERT, GmailScopes.MAIL_GOOGLE_COM);

Answer 4

Change the SCOPE from SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS_READONLY to SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS.

private static final List SCOPES = Arrays.asList(SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS);

//private static final List<String> SCOPES = Arrays.asList(SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS_READONLY);
