Description

Read the emails received at your inbound addresses. Bird parses each received message into metadata, a body, and an attachment manifest.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated.

Procedure

Read a received email's parsed metadata, then its body and attachments. The body and attachment list are separate reads, so a large message is fetched only when you need it.
