Most scholars say that only 7 epistles were really written by Paul: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians, with the others being written in Paul's name after his death.
With the possible exception of James, the other epistles have also been dated to the second century, meaning that they could not have been written by any of the apostles.
While epistles became an important religious genre in first and second century Christianity, only the seven epistles of Paul have been confirmed as being written by an apostle. All other New Testament letters were pseudepigraphical.
