# List Received Emails

> Retrieve a list of received emails for the authenticated user.

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](/docs/api-reference/emails/retrieve-received-email) endpoint or the [Retrieve Received Attachment](/docs/api-reference/emails/retrieve-received-email-attachment) endpoint to get an email's attachments.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This endpoint only returns emails received by your team. If you need to list
> emails sent by your team, use the [List Sent
> Emails](/docs/api-reference/emails/list-emails) endpoint.

## Query Parameters

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

**limit** `number`

Number of emails to retrieve.
<ul><li>Maximum value: `100`</li>
<li>Minimum value: `1`</li></ul>

**after** `string`

The ID *after* which we'll retrieve more emails (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 emails (for
pagination). This ID will *not* be included in the returned list.
Cannot be used with the `after` parameter.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You can only use either `after` or `before`
> parameter, not both. See our
> [pagination guide](/docs/api-reference/pagination) for more
> information.
