An inbox is a digital folder or storage area on a computer or other device where incoming messages, such as emails, social media messages, or task notifications, are received and stored. It is the digital equivalent of a physical mailbox and serves as a central location to read, reply to, and manage all new communications.

Key aspects of an inbox:

Function: When a message is sent to you, it is delivered to your inbox. You can then access it to manage your communications.

Common types: The most common type is an email inbox, used by services like Gmail and Outlook. However, inboxes are also used by social media platforms, messaging apps, and project management tools.

Organization: Inboxes are typically organized with the newest messages at the top and can be managed by sorting, searching, filtering, or moving messages to other folders.

Customization: Many platforms allow you to customize your inbox by setting up filters, rules, or different themes to automatically organize messages.

Verb: The term can also be used as a verb, meaning to send a private online message to someone.
