## Definitions

### `com.getorbyt.community.getModmailThread`

**Type**: `query`

One Modmail thread and its messages, newest first. Without member, the caller's own thread, which is absent until they first write. With another account's member, the caller needs manage-mail. Viewer-specific and never cached; reading does not mark the thread read (see updateModmailSeen).

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `community` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes |  |
| `cursor` | `string` | No | Continues toward older messages. |
| `limit` | `integer` | No |  |
| `member` | `string` (did) | No | Whose thread. Absent means the caller's own. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `cursor` | `string` | No |  |
