Mailboxes
A mailbox is a real email address that can send and receive messages.
Addressing
Every mailbox has a full address formed from the local part and domain:
- Platform subdomain:
[email protected]— available on all plans. The slug is your account identifier, chosen at signup. - Custom domain:
[email protected]— requires a verified domain on the paid plan. See Domains.
Status lifecycle
A mailbox can be in one of three states:
- ACTIVE — Can send and receive email. Default state on creation.
- PAUSED — Cannot send email. Inbound email is still received and stored. You can pause a mailbox via
PATCH /v1/mailboxes/:id. - SUSPENDED — Set by the system (e.g. billing issues). Cannot send or receive email. Contact support to resolve.
Plan limits
Free accounts are limited to 1 mailbox with 50 sends per day. Paid accounts get unlimited mailboxes with 2,000 sends per day per mailbox. The daily send counter resets at midnight UTC.
See Limits & Quotas for full plan details.
