# Delete (soft) a mailbox

`DELETE /mailboxes/{id}`

## Request

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

Soft-deletes the mailbox: it stops sending and warmup immediately but its history is preserved so it can be restored. Returns 200 with the mailbox object (status "deleted") — not 204.

Required scope: `mailboxes:write`.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Success

## Other responses

- `401`: `unauthorized` — Missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: `insufficient_scope` — The API key lacks the scope this endpoint requires.
- `404`: `not_found` — Mailbox not found (or already deleted).
- `429`: `rate_limited` — Too many requests — slow down and retry after the Retry-After delay.
