Learn how to send emails in golang with the standard Go library and gomail library using Gmail
The used [gopkg.in/mail.v2](gopkg.in/mail.v2) package hasn't seen an update in 4 years and seems unmaintained. I suggest to use go-mail instead.
- Latest go-mail release provides much better delivery error handling.

Code Sample to Send Emails in Go with the net/SMTP Package
The gomail package you are referring to has not seen an update for 6 years and seems to be unmaintained. I suggest to use go-mail instead, which is actively maintained and implements some additional features that are not found in the unmaintained one.

Sending (form-)mails from static websites with Go
Due to the above mentioned reasons and the lack of proper alternatives decided to write my own Go mail library. On a long weekend I started working on wneessen/go-mail and in the night of Sunday I had a kind of working prototype and I implemented it with js-mailer.

Mail has saved over a thousand draft emails to the wrong folder
The way I eventually solved it was to create a custom script in Go (using the emersion/go-imap library) that could interact with the IMAP server, retrieve all of the emails and then checking the headers and then moving them to the bin. Took about 60 seconds to process 44,000 emails and remove over 1,000 drafts that were in the wrong place.

Bridge and Thunderbird Trash
They are going to replace go-imap with gluon. That's an effort which has been going on for quite a while.

Proton Bridge: Message UIDs are not stable / possible data loss (deletion of wrong messages)
Yeah, this really need attention now. I'm spotting the go-imap (which seems to be the real culprit) replacement being worked on, which is great! But, u/ProtonMail and u/bartbutler, please push all you can internally.

Our ProtonMail Adventure – A Five Act Drama
they seem to blame go-imap (https://github.com/emersion/go-imap). at a quick glance the library itself doesn't seem to have an open issue describing the problem.
curious if that author's (deprecated) protonmail bridge hydroxide (https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide) has the same problem.
