# Retrieve an email

`GET /email/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.unitpost.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://www.unitpost.com/api/v1/email/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Retrieve a single email by `id`, including its current send status and lifecycle timestamps (created, scheduled, sent, delivered, and so on). Find an `id` by browsing [List sent emails](#get-email). Messages submitted over **SMTP** can also be retrieved by the RFC 5322 `Message-ID` your mail library stamped on them (URL-encode it, e.g. `/email/%3Cabc%40example.com%3E`; angle brackets optional) — the id in the SMTP `250 Queued as …` reply works too. To change a scheduled or queued email, use [Cancel or reschedule an email](#patch-email-id). Requires the `emails:read` capability.

## Response `200`
