Create an inbox

Before you get started

• You must be an Editor or Admin of the project you are creating the inbox in, or an Account Administrator.

Create an inbox in the Dashboard

1. In the left-hand navigation, locate the Inboxes section.
2. Click the + icon, or click the Inboxes section title and select New inbox.
3. In the dialog that appears, enter a name for your inbox.
4. Click Create.

Your new inbox is assigned a unique domain name (e.g. INBOX_ID.mailosaur.net). You can immediately start sending emails to any address on that domain.

Which project the inbox belongs to

Every inbox belongs to a project. The create dialog includes a Project field, which defaults to the project you are working in, shown in the project switcher at the top of the left-hand navigation. See Projects.

To configure settings such as message retention or Performance mode after creation, see Inbox settings.

Create an inbox via the API

Send a POST request to the servers endpoint:

curl -X POST \
  -u "key:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "My Inbox"}' \
  "https://mailosaur.com/api/servers"

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key.
