unsolicited messages

Inbox clutter arrives

Unsolicited messages are communications sent without being requested or invited—emails, texts, or other contact that arrives uninvited.

The term covers everything from spam and marketing blasts to unwanted personal contact: My inbox is flooded with unsolicited messages.

The phrase often carries negative connotations, implying intrusion or annoyance.
