inbox

Similar to an "inbox" on a desk where incoming work gets placed until you are ready to process it, this refers to an area in your e-mail program that holds the incoming e-mail messages you receive. The outbox refers to e-mail messages that are waiting to be sent. You may hear someone say "I've got to clean up my inbox, that thread about the office party has taken it over."
