Recoverable Mailboxes

If the mailbox does not exist, the API will return the regular itemNotFound data. In addition, it will also return a boolean value isRecoverable which is set to true if the mailbox is recoverable. If isRecoverable is true, deletedDate will also be set, otherwise deletedDate will not be included.

{ 
  'name' => 'alex.renamed'

The mailbox and mailbox contents are deleted permanently.


Example:

Create Login Tokens

URL:

[POST] https://api.emailsrvr.com/customers/(customer account number)/domains/(domain)/rs/mailboxes/(mailbox)/loginToken


Description:

Generate a login Token which can be used to log in to a user's mailbox. The POST will return a loginToken, created date, and expiration date.


Note:

This route is not available to customers who access the Cloud Office Control Panel via my.rackspace.com and have an admin account with API keys.


Example: 

post '/customers/460896/domains/testapidomain.net/rs/mailboxes/testmailbox/loginToken', {}

Create a login Token for testmailbox@testapidomain.net 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<rsMailboxLoginToken xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="urn:xml:rsMailboxLoginToken">

  <token>5b5e27419a363fc5b65bbb63d1c2d3f8</token>

  <dateCreated>9/22/2010 9:33:15 AM</dateCreated>

  <expirationDate>9/22/2010 9:53:14 AM</expirationDate>

</rsMailboxLoginToken>


The login token is valid until the current time (EST) passes the expiration date, and can be used until that point.

Using the above created login token a user can SSO into testmailbox@testapidomain.net using the following URL: 

https://{webmail address}/mail/src/redirect.php?user_name={testmailbox@testapidomain.net}&emailaddress=testmailbox@testapidomain.net&sessionID=5b5e27419a363fc5b65bbb63d1c2d3f8

Alternatively, the login token can be used to SSO into the webmail mobile site using the following URL: 

https://{webmail address}/mobile/login.php?user_name=address@domain.com&emailaddress=address@domain.com&sessionID=5b5e27419a363fc5b65bbb63d1c2d3f8
