          1.  A file belonging to a particular user on a
          particular computer in which received electronic mail
          messages are stored ready for the user to read them.  A
          mailbox may be just an electronic mail address to which
          messages are sent and may not actually correspond to a file if
          the messages are processed automatically, e.g. a mail server
          or mailing list.
       
          2.  A destination for interprocess messages in a
          message passing system.  A mailbox is a message queue,
          usually stored in the memory of the processor on which the
          receiving process is running.  Primitives are provided for
          sending a message to a named mailbox and for reading messages
          from a mailbox.
