What is an outbox?

An outbox is a tray or container used for placing outgoing mail, documents, or other items that need to be sent out or delivered to someone else. It is typically placed in a visible and accessible location within a workspace, such as on a desk or near a mailbox.

Outboxes are commonly used in office settings to help organize and manage outgoing correspondence and ensure that it is sent out in a timely manner. They can be labeled or designated specifically for different types of outgoing items, such as letters, packages, or invoices.

Some outboxes may also have slots or compartments for sorting and prioritizing outgoing items, as well as reminders or notes for tracking when items were sent and to whom. Additionally, some electronic mail systems may have a digital outbox where emails are stored before being sent.
