What's an inbox? An outbox? There is no general
implementation of such things, so your question
must be platform and/or application-dependent.
Knowing you are on Windows doesn't actually help.
Do you mean Outlook? Probably not, since you mentioned
you'll move to Linux.

Maybe describing what your general objectives are,
rather than the specific steps you think will get
you there, would help. *Why* are you trying to
do these things? There might be better options.
