- Does this mailbox accept mail? Asked of the receiving mail host, read conservatively.
- Does it belong to the person you asked about? Judged from evidence, never assumed.
Quickstart

Submit, poll, read. Every endpoint has a live playground in the API reference tab.
Results
What each status word means and which ones are charged.
Billing

Two operations
How work runs
Every submission is asynchronous. You get a job back at once and poll it untilexecution_state is complete or incomplete. Mail hosts do not answer instantly, so we do not pretend to; verifications usually settle in seconds, finds in under a minute.
The dashboard at inboxfound.com/app runs the same jobs and shows the same fields, so you can try a lookup by hand before writing code.
