# Query mailing lists

To find a specific mailing list, you use the `NewslettersManager` class. First, you initialize the `NewslettersManager`. Then,  to retrieve all mailing lists, you must call `GetMailingLists`. Finally, you filter the lists based on the `Id` property. You can filter by any of the `MailingList` properties.

The following code finds a mailing list with specific Id with the Native API:

1. ```C#
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Newsletters;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Newsletters.Model;
    
    namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.EmailCampaigns
    {
        public partial class EmailCampaignsSnippets
        {
            public static MailingList QueryMailingList(Guid id)
            {
                NewslettersManager manager = NewslettersManager.GetManager();
                MailingList mailingList = manager.GetMailingLists().Where(l => l.Id == id).SingleOrDefault();
                return mailingList;
            }
        }
    }
    
   ```

> info **NOTE**: You can use the `GetMailingList` method to retrieve a list by ID. If no mailing list with the specified ID exists, the `GetMailingList` method throws an exception.
