pain in the inbox

Someone who won't stop emailing you with persistent queries, all of which require your immediate attention. If you don't reply, they write again to ask why you haven't replied. An internet variation on "pain in the arse"
Jon is such a pain in the inbox; he won't stop emailing me!

inbox me

When someone posts something for sale, e.g. on Facebook, but won't give further details publically because they;

1) would be ridiculed for the outrageously high asking price;

2) want to pretend that the article for sale isn't in a terrible state of repair;

3) are so bone idle that they just cannot be bothered to put effort into typing a few more words for those that might not be interested anyway; and/or,

4) have nothing for sale, have no friends and this is the path-of-least-effort for human contact (however brief that will inevitably turn out to be).
1) Ford Focus for sale. Inbox me for details.

inbox depression

n. A dysphoric state of mind that occurs after one looks into one's email inbox with great anticipation of something, only to feel rejected that nobody has sent the individual a particular email.
I had a major case of inbox depression going on for months as I waited for med school admission notifications to come in.

Inbox(1)

Inbox(1) is the sending of a message (often by electronic means such as by facebook or email) with no point other than to provoke the receiver. The message contains nonsense and is designed to make the receiver think that they may have a meaningful message (when they see the status of their inbox: "inbox(1)") when in fact they have no messages.
"Inbox(1)"
"..."
"lol...I inbox(1)ed you!"

J: I have a message :)
M: ...
J: Oh damn...you inbox(1)ed me -again- ;(
M: Mwhahahaha :D
