# List Inboxes

::::callout{intent="warning"}
Inboxes are currently in private beta and only available to a limited
number of users. The response shape might change before GA.

[Get early access](https://resend.com/help?type=report\&message=I+would+like+early+access+to+Inboxes.\&priority=low) if you're interested in testing this feature.

Once you have access, upgrade your Resend SDK to use the new methods:

:::code-group
```bash Node.js
npm install resend@6.28.1-preview-inboxes.2
```

```bash CLI
npm install -g resend-cli@2.22.0-preview-inboxes.2
```
:::
::::

Inboxes are returned newest first. Results are paginated with cursors. See
[Pagination](/guides/api-reference-pagination) for how `after` and `before` work.

## Query Parameters

```
  {isRequired ? 
```

- `limit` (number) — Number of inboxes to retrieve.

  - Default value: `20`

  - Maximum value: `100`

  - Minimum value: `1`

: <>

Note that the `limit` parameter is _optional_. If
you do not provide a `limit`, all inboxes will be returned
in a single response.

- `limit` (number) — Number of inboxes to retrieve.

  - Maximum value: `100`

  - Minimum value: `1`

    ```
    </>}
    ```

    - `after` (string) — The ID _after_ which we'll retrieve more inboxes (for pagination). This ID will _not_ be included in the returned list. Cannot be used with the `before` parameter.

    - `before` (string) — The ID _before_ which we'll retrieve more inboxes (for pagination). This ID will _not_ be included in the returned list. Cannot be used with the `after` parameter.

      :::callout{intent="info"}
      You can only use either `after` or `before`
      parameter, not both. See our
      [pagination guide](/guides/api-reference-pagination) for more
      information.
