A collaborative or team inbox is an email inbox that’s being managed by multiple teammates. Each team member who has access to the inbox can see, reply to, and organize all incoming messages.

Endless email threads, missed follow-ups, and unclear responsibilities.
When your inbox lacks structure, teamwork suffers.
Important messages get buried, tasks slip through the cracks, and efficiency takes a hit.
