Email Settings API - How to delete Send-as alias

Question

The Google Apps Email Settings API describes creating and retrieving Send-as aliases, but not how to delete them. Is it possible to do this via the API, or is there a workaround?

I'm using the Directory API to add and delete user aliases, which takes care of whether someone can receive at an alias, but I'm stuck on how to remove their Send-as alias.

Answer 1

There is no sendas delete method. Users must manually delete the sendas from the UI.

Answer 2

The ability to delete send-as aliases has been added to the API, though I haven't tested it myself - https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/settings/sendAs/delete

Answer 3

The Directory API has a method to "delete all aliases". Not sure if that includes "sendas" alias but might be worth checking.
