in-boxes
Where emails land
In-boxes is the plural of in-box, referring to multiple receptacles for incoming documents or messages.
In office settings, in-boxes are physical trays where mail and paperwork arrive.
In digital contexts, in-boxes are where emails accumulate: I have three in-boxes to check every morning.
The hyphenated spelling is less common than the solid form "inboxes."
