Update IMAP/POP Monitor

Updates an IMAP/POP monitor and/or changes its status.

PATCH /api/imap-pop-monitors/:imapPopMonitorPublicId

Authentication

Requires a valid session.

  • Header: Authorization: Bearer <token>

Parameters

  • imapPopMonitorPublicId (Path, required): IMAP/POP monitor public UUID.

Request Body

  • status (optional)
  • Allowed: active, maintenance, disabled, paused, inactive
  • Note: paused / inactive are normalized to disabled.
  • name, hostname, port, checkInterval, timeoutSeconds (optional)
  • allowedCheckCountryCodes (optional)
  • Normalized to upper-case and de-duplicated.
  • checkMode (optional)
  • Allowed: protocol | tcp. Must be one of these two values or the request fails with 400 / data.code: "invalidCheckMode".
  • Switching to tcp clears any stored credentials: the monitor performs a bare TCP port-reachability check and imapPopConfig is not stored. Switching back to protocol re-enables the full IMAP/POP login check; supply imapPopConfig/config to set new credentials.
  • port is required when the resulting checkMode is tcp (either just set on this request, or already stored on the monitor). If no port is available, the request fails with 400 / data.code: "portRequiredForTcp".
  • imapPopConfig (optional)
  • Alias for the stored config JSON.
  • config (optional)
  • Alternative way to update the same stored config JSON.

Note: Read-only users may only change status (and sending any other fields will result in 403).
