# List Received Emails

> GET /emails/receiving — list the emails received by your domains.

`GET /emails/receiving`

List the emails received by your domains. The list returns a reference to each received email; use an email's `id` to fetch its full content with [GET /emails/receiving/:id](https://www.mailblastr.com/docs/api/emails-received-get), or its [attachments](https://www.mailblastr.com/docs/api/emails-received-list-attachments).

This endpoint returns only emails **received** by your domains. To list emails your account has sent, use [GET /emails](https://www.mailblastr.com/docs/api/emails-list).

> **Note:** This endpoint is paginated. The `limit` parameter is optional — if you omit it, all received emails are returned in a single response. See [Pagination](https://www.mailblastr.com/docs/api/pagination).

## Query parameters
