Describing an inbox that keeps resurfacing old threads, replies, and reminders you had already buried.

The emailhaunted inbox resurrects a thread from March with a new reply, a birthday reminder for a departed colleague, and a newsletter you never subscribed to. The dead correspondences walk. Clearing the inbox does not stop the haunting.

Etym. — email + haunted — the inbox as a house where old threads refuse to stay buried.
