`the piece of code below returns 401

async deleteAllEmails(address) {`

const mailsac = new Mailsac({ headers: { "Mailsac-Key" : process.env.MAIL_PASSWORD } })

const messages = await mailsac.messages.deleteAllMessages(address);

if (messages.status === 204) {

return true ;

} else {

return false ;

}

}

Hi Eniola,

Sorry for the trouble you are having. What address are you trying to delete all the messages from? Is this an address you have configured as private or is it a public address? Feel free free to send me a message directly if you don’t want to post the address publicly here in the forums.

Michael

Thanks @mjmayer for your prompt response, i am using a public address something like
[email protected]

The REST endpoint that the deleteAllMessages method is acting on is documented here. It does state “The address must be an owned address or an address in a owned domain.” which is probably why you are seeing the 401. Try reserving the address and see if the API call works.

Let me know if that resolves your issue.
