Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
inbox_id	path	string	Yes	The Inbox ID or the inbox email address, such as `[email protected]`. A value that contains `@` must be a valid email address, and any other value must be a UUID, or the request returns a 422. The address match is case-insensitive and never falls back to the inbox `name`. An address that matches no inbox returns a 404.
