What is an Inbox

An inbox in computer terminology is a digital space where incoming messages, emails, or notifications are stored. It serves as a centralized location within an email service, messaging app, or other communication platforms where users can view, read, and organize their received communications.

In most email systems, such as Gmail or Outlook, the inbox is the default location where incoming messages appear. Users can manage their messages by replying, archiving, or deleting them. In addition to email, inboxes are also present in other systems such as social media platforms, project management tools, and messaging apps.
