Understanding Google Mail API Quotas

I can't make any sense of the official quotas for using the Mail API:

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/quotas?csw=1#Mail

Looks like I can make 7,000 API calls/day or 32 calls/minute, but I can only send 8 message/minute. So I should make either 1 API call/minute sending 8 emails, or make 8 API calls/minute each sending 1 email?

Are developers really supposed to drip messages at a rate of 8 emails per minute?

Either of them is fine, do whatever makes sense for your app (within the quota limits).

For a large number of apps this is more than enough. For those which need more than that alternative solutions are available. See GAE increase recepients emailed limit.
