MOLTED EMAIL

Mailboxes

Create and manage mailboxes for receiving inbound email, with plan-based limits.

Mailboxes let your tenant receive inbound email at dedicated addresses. Each mailbox is scoped to a single tenant and can be used to receive and process incoming messages.

Plan limits

The number of mailboxes you can create depends on your plan:

PlanMax mailboxes
Trial1
Starter3
Growth10
EnterpriseUnlimited

When your account is in the expired state, no new mailboxes can be created.

Creating a mailbox

Mailboxes are created via the agentic mailbox API:

curl
curl -X POST https://agentic-mailbox.molted.email/v1/mailboxes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tenantId": "tenant-abc",
    "address": "support@example.com",
    "displayName": "Support Inbox"
  }'

Limit exceeded

If you attempt to create a mailbox beyond your plan's limit, you'll receive a 403 Forbidden response:

Error response
{
  "statusCode": 403,
  "message": "Mailbox limit reached (3). Upgrade your plan to create more mailboxes."
}

Mailbox status

Each mailbox has a status field:

StatusDescription
provisioningMailbox is being set up
activeMailbox is ready to receive email
pausedMailbox is temporarily disabled
errorMailbox encountered a configuration error

Listing mailboxes

curl
curl https://agentic-mailbox.molted.email/v1/mailboxes?tenantId=tenant-abc \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Checking your usage

Mailbox usage is included in the billing status endpoint:

curl
curl https://api.molted.email/v1/billing/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

The response includes a mailboxes field:

Mailbox usage
{
  "mailboxes": {
    "used": 2,
    "limit": 3
  }
}

A null limit means unlimited mailboxes (Enterprise plan).
