Ye Olde "In-box"
[edit]Google says that inbox is about 5 times as common as in-box, but of course in-box might be the more common spelling for the non computer meanings. Anyone care to rename or split these as they feel? Mglovesfun (talk) 20:45, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with this user from nine years ago. I have NEVER seen the word 'in-box', except on wiktionary. IMO in-box is an archaic form of inbox. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:21, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
verb sense?
[edit]Often people use "inbox" on Facebook where one might also use "message" - yeah, inbox me. is this notable? 99.195.114.179
- Notability is not our criterion; attestability is. I'd bet on this being attestable - not just for Facebook usage. DCDuring TALK 23:39, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Microsoft's modern use, meaning out of the box
[edit]Microsoft has recently been using inbox as an adjective to mean out of the box (i.e. supplied with the operating system). Today I even saw them use it as an adverb: "Snipping Tool ... is a good alternative to PSR and also ships inbox with Windows." 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:5874:B7BD:8F20:BF89 17:51, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
