## List emails

`email.list(EmailListParams**kwargs)  -> EmailListResponse`

**get** `/v1/emails`

Returns a paginated list of emails. Use `offset` and `limit` to paginate through results. Each email is privacy-filtered per caller, includes a read-only `accessLevel`, and may redact the subject at metadata-only access. `fields.$body` is not included on list items; use GET `/v1/emails/{id}` for message body HTML. See <u>[List endpoints](/using-the-api/list-endpoints/)</u> for more information about pagination.
