Pigeonhole messagebox
A pigeonhole messagebox (commonly referred to as a pigeon hole, or in Oxford colleges as a pidge, known in the United States as a Mailbox, especially in academic or office settings) is a device for communication commonly used in organisations and educational institutes in the United Kingdom and other countries. Documents and messages are placed in a person's pigeon hole for them to collect; they can reply by putting a response inside the sender's pigeon hole.

The name comes from the similarity in appearance to the boxes used in Pigeon Racing to store the animals whilst in transit.
