Definition
💡 An Outbox is a temporary storage folder in an email client where outgoing emails are held until they are successfully sent to the recipient. It serves as an intermediary stage between composing and sending emails, ensuring that messages are properly queued and delivered.
Example
When you compose an email in Outlook and click send, the email first moves to the outbox. It remains there briefly while Outlook processes and sends the message. If there is an issue with sending, such as a connection error, the email stays in the outbox until it can be successfully sent.
