# List unsent drafts on an inbox

> Returns the unsent drafts on the given email inbox. The inbox is identified
by its `channelId` — the same value returned as `channelId` from
`GET /api/users/{userId}/inboxes`.

Each item in the response is a draft entry with the parent discussion's
`streamId` attached. Drafts currently in the process of sending (after
`POST /api/email/send` was called and before the upstream provider accepts
the message) are excluded.

With API-key auth the only scope check is that the inbox belongs to your
company. With delegate-token auth (`email:*` scope) the inbox must also be
one the authenticated user can reach personally or via a team membership.
