A combat "sport" where two participants, generally of similar intellectual weight, fight each other via an e-mail exchange. Inboxing typically involves a series of one-to-one e-mail exchanges (called "rounds"); however, a popular and successful tactic is for one participant to fire off a "combination" of back-to-back e-mails before their opponent has time to respond to the first message. Victory is achieved if the opponent is knocked down emotionally and unable to get up (a Knockout or KO), or if the opponent's Inbox is deemed too overwhelmed to continue (a Technical Knockout, or TKO). If there is no stoppage of the fight before an agreed number of rounds, a winner is determined by judges' (those CC'd on the e-mail exchange) scorecards.

Dude I'm so sorry I did not get back to you. Your email about attending your hamster's burial service must have gotten inboxed.

Inbox can be used as a verb, mostly on Facebook. To inbox someone is to send them a message to their message inbox - simple as it sounds.
On Facebook wall posts
Person 1 "Why is my life so awful?!"
Person 2 "What's the matter hun?"
Person 1 "I can't say on here, I'll inbox you"

That overwhelming feeling you get when your inbox is overflowing with emails that have to be read. Similar to intoxication.
James returned from work from a three day weekend and quickly showed signs of inboxication from all the emails he had to answer.

Following discussions that pussywhipped is not the same as dickmatised we wanted something to describe this feeling. Much like being dickmatised by someone with a penis, a person could also fall hard for someone with a vagina (box is colloquial slang)
So there you go. Close second and shout out to my other idea Flaptivated.
