Note
The -ing form carries both of the verb's jobs, and both are transitive, so the object follows directly with no preposition. Inboxing a report means putting it into someone's tray or folder. Inboxing a client means writing to them. The object tells you which is meant: a document or file points to the first, a person to the second. As a gerund it heads a noun phrase, as in inboxing new leads fills her mornings.
