I don't think "Inbox" means what you think it...

The Three Initiates
He’d been talking for five full minutes—mostly in circles—but I couldn’t bring myself to hang up the phone. It wasn’t so much what he was saying, but how. Something about his voice wasn’t right. He spoke precise, unaccented English. A little too precise, maybe. It sounded almost constructed. Artificial. Inorganic, even. “I do hope you see my point, Mr. Dundee,” the man said. “I’m not at all sure...
