The Task Inbox feature is a messaging system built into Office Accelerator that works in conjunction with the Accelerator phone book and calendar application. When used in a multi-user environment, the Task Inbox is used to manage messages sent and received. All messages sent to the Task Inbox will also appear as a Task in the message recipient's Office Accelerator calendar and will continue to roll over each day until marked as complete. In addition, if a task inbox message is linked to a contact, the task will appear as an Action Item on the linked contact located on the Personal Dashboard within the |Actions| tab.
