## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**address**

required

string format: email

The test address, URL-encoded. A variant also works: capitals, or a +tag (k7f2x9ab12cd+o’[brien@mailclub.dev](mailto:brien@mailclub.dev)). It acts on the plain address; waiting on a +tag variant, or listing its messages, only finds mail sent to that variant.

#### Example 

```plaintext
k7f2x9ab12cd@mailclub.dev
```
