# Update Inbox

PATCH https://api.agentmail.to/v0/pods/{pod_id}/inboxes/{inbox_id}
Content-Type: application/json

**CLI:**

```bash
agentmail pods inboxes update --pod-id <pod_id> --inbox-id <inbox_id>
```

Reference: https://docs.agentmail.to/api-reference/pods/inboxes/update

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Servers

- `https://api.agentmail.to` (prod, default)
- `https://x402.api.agentmail.to` (prod-x402)
- `https://mpp.api.agentmail.to` (prod-mpp)
- `https://api.agentmail.eu` (eu-prod)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `pod_id` (string, required) — ID of pod.
- `inbox_id` (string, required) — The ID of the inbox.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `display_name` (string, optional) — Display name: `Display Name <username@domain.com>`.
- `metadata` (map from string to string or double or boolean, optional, nullable) — Metadata to merge into the inbox's existing metadata. Keys you include are added or overwritten; keys you omit are left unchanged. To remove a single key, send it with a null value. To clear all metadata, send `metadata` as null. Sending an empty object is rejected; use null to clear. Each update must include at least one of `display_name` or `metadata`.

## Response

### 200

- `pod_id` (string, required) — ID of pod.
- `inbox_id` (string, required) — The ID of the inbox.
- `email` (string, required) — Email address of the inbox.
- `updated_at` (datetime, required) — Time at which inbox was last updated.
- `created_at` (datetime, required) — Time at which inbox was created.

## Errors

### 404 Not Found Error

- `name` (string, required) — Name of error.
- `message` (string, required) — Error message.
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable, machine-readable error code in snake_case (for example, not_found or missing_permission). Branch on this rather than the message text.
