outboxes

Defeats in ring

Outboxes is the plural of outbox, a folder or tray for items awaiting dispatch.

In email, the outbox holds messages queued to send but not yet transmitted—distinct from sent mail.

In physical offices, an outbox is where completed documents wait to be picked up or delivered: Check my outbox for the signed contracts.
