"Delivering Letters to Your Inbox" - NYTimes.com

The "in" box has taken on all sorts of new meanings in the electronic age. It is still the physical mailbox for most of us, in part, but it is so much more content delivered to real and virtual inboxes that we construct quite effortlessly in so many places.
