# Delete an inbox

`DELETE /v1/inboxes/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mailfixture.com`
- URL: `https://api.mailfixture.com/v1/inboxes/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Deletes the inbox and all of its messages immediately — there is no history-until-retention.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `204`

Inbox and its messages deleted.

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing bearer token, malformed key, or unknown/revoked/invalid API key.
- `404`: No such inbox on this account.
- `429`: Per-key rate limit exceeded. `Retry-After` says when the next request will be admitted; the RateLimit headers name the bucket that refused (`requests` or `creates`) with `r=0`.
- `500`: Unexpected server error. `detail` is null — internals are never leaked.
