# Turn your managed inbound address on or off (live keys only)

`PATCH /v1/emails/received/address`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.honkio.ca`
- URL: `https://api.honkio.ca/v1/emails/received/address`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Requires `emails:m`.

## Request body

- object: Turns the account's live managed inbound address on or off.
  - `enabled` boolean, required: False stops accepting mail at the managed address; true accepts it again. Your own receiving domains are not affected.

## Response `200`

The same address object GET returns, with enabled set to the requested value. The flag is account-wide: turning it off stops the live managed address receiving, so only a live key may change it.

## Other responses

- `402`: The account has no balance, or a LIVE key was used before the first top-up.
- `403`: LIVE_KEY_REQUIRED: the switch is account-wide and turns the live address off, so a test key cannot change it (GET still reports it). Also ACCOUNT_NOT_VERIFIED (needs a verified owner mobile number) or FORBIDDEN when the key lacks emails:m.
- `422`: VALIDATION_ERROR: the request failed validation; details names the fields.
- `429`: Rate limit reached: 100 requests per second per account, or a route-specific limit (Retry-After set where one applies).
