# Get a mailbox

> Returns a single mailbox, tenant-scoped to the caller's team. Responses carry a weak `ETag` header — send it back as `If-None-Match` on the next request and the server will return `304 Not Modified` (no body) when the resource has not changed. The same ETag is the value to use in `If-Match` on PATCH for optimistic concurrency.
