Easy purging of inboxes

We’ve listened to your feedback. This week we released new functionality to delete all the messages in an inbox.

Purging an inbox can be accomplished in two ways:

  • programmatically, via the REST API DELETE /api/addresses/:email/messages route
  • by clicking the new “Purge Inbox” button

Here’s an example of clicking the Purge Inbox button, instantly recycling over 80 messages:

Why were all the messages not deleted?

Starred messages (savedBy in the REST API) will not be purged.

We recommend un-starring those messages first, then purging the inbox, if you want to completely clear the inbox. Or, use the existing single-message deletion feature will allow you to delete a starred message. There is a button for deleting messages on the inbox page. The REST API route to delete a single message is DELETE /api/addresses/:email/messages/:messageId.

REST Compliant Response From Email Validation API

The GET Method on the REST API endpoint /api/validations/addresses/:addressToValidate has been updated to return a JSON object. Previously, this endpoint was returning an array. The POST Method response remains unchanged.

An example GET request and response has been added to the Mailsac REST API documentation.

Email validation via the Mailsac Website is still available to all registered customers. An email address can be checked for valid format and if it is associated with any known disposable email services.
