Update display preferences
Changes how dates, times and the calendar are shown.
Permission
The key must be granted mail.settings.write
A key without it gets 403 insufficient_scope, with the missing permission named in details.
Request body
Send only what changes. A body with no recognised field is rejected rather than treated as a no-op, so a typo in a field name is reported instead of silently doing nothing.

-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)"Idempotency-Key is required on every write. Retrying with the same key returns the original response rather than repeating the operation, so a timeout is something you retry rather than something you investigate.
Response

"data": { ... },
"meta": { "request_id": "req_01j8z9...", "timestamp": "2026-09-02T10:00:00Z" }
