Does mailing list have inbox

A mailing list, also known as a distribution list or email list, is a collection of email addresses that are used to send emails to multiple recipients at once. A mailing list does not have an inbox in the classical sense, as it is not a personal email account.

Instead, a mailing list typically has a few key components:

  1. List of subscribers: A list of email addresses that have been added to the mailing list.
  2. List administrator: A person or entity responsible for managing the mailing list, including adding and removing subscribers, sending emails, and managing list settings.
  3. Email server: A server that stores and manages the mailing list, and sends emails to subscribers when a message is sent to the list.
  4. Email client: A software or service that allows the list administrator to send emails to the mailing list.

When an email is sent to a mailing list, it is typically processed by the email server, which then sends the email to each subscriber's email account. The email is delivered to the subscriber's inbox, just like any other email.

So, to summarize, a mailing list does not have an inbox, but rather is a collection of email addresses that are used to send emails to multiple recipients at once.
