Looking up a mailbox

See Mailboxes for what a mailbox is and the settings it holds. This page covers the sithbit mailbox get command.

sithbit mailbox get [owner_address]

mailbox get is a read-only query: it derives the mailbox PDA for the given address, reads the account, and prints its settings. It signs nothing, spends nothing, and needs no CLI feature flag — anyone can inspect any mailbox.

Arguments

• [owner_address] (optional) — the address whose mailbox to look up. Defaults to the address of your own configured keypair, so sithbit mailbox get with no arguments looks up your own mailbox.

What it prints

mailbox get prints the mailbox’s mail count, default postage, domain, and no-IPFS opt-out flag — see Mailbox settings for what each one means.

Related commands

• Mailbox keys — publish a delegated encryption key for signing-only wallets.
