What is an "inbox"?
An inbox is the part of an email account where incoming messages are stored and displayed. It is the main area where users check for new emails, such as personal, work-related, or promotional messages. The inbox typically shows a list of emails with basic information like the sender, subject, and date received. From the inbox, users can read, reply to, delete, or organize messages. It serves as the starting point for managing email communication.
