Data Caching

This method is cached according to the Long Cache Style.

• The first request returns the latest 50 mails/200 notifications sent or received by the character within the last 10 days. Older items are skipped.
• Subsequent requests return only the new items recieved since the last request.
• You can request new items every 30 minutes.
• If you want to re-set the timer and get the first-request bulk again, you'll have to wait 6 hours.

sentDate	date string	The date the message was sent.
title	string	The title of the message
toCorpOrAllianceID	string	The ID of a corporation/alliance that the message was sent to.
toCharacterIDs	string	Comma-separated list of character IDs of the characters that received the message.
toListID	string	Comma-separated list of mailing lists that the mail was sent to. Currently you can only send a mail to one list but that might change so we made this a list instead of a single ID. The IDs of lists the character is subscribed to can be resolved using the [mailinglists API].
