# List Received Emails

You can list all emails received by your team. The list returns references to individual emails. If needed, you can use the `id` of an email to retrieve the email HTML to plain text using the [Retrieve Received Email](/guides/receiving-retrieve-received-email) endpoint or the [Retrieve Received Attachment](/guides/receiving-retrieve-received-email-attachment) endpoint to get an email's attachments.

:::callout{intent="info"}
This endpoint only returns emails received by your team. If you need to list
emails sent by your team, use the [List Sent
Emails](/guides/sending-2-list-emails) endpoint.
