404 means that the Id you are requesting does not exist. I would run a List first then a get after.

If you want to see messages that are in the sent folder you should do a message.list and search for what is in the sent folder.

var request = service.Users.Messages.List("me");
request.Q = "is:sent";
var result = request.Execute();

If you know when it was sent you could add a date.

var request = service.Users.Messages.List("me");
request.Q = "is:sent  after:2021/3/28 before:2021/3/31";
var result = request.Execute();

Tip Q works just like the search function in the Gmail web application so if you can get that to return what you want just add it to Q
