Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty: one spelling serves as simple past (she outboxed him) and as past participle after have or be (he has been outboxed). It comes from the verb meaning to box better than someone, which always takes an object. The noun outbox, the mail tray or email folder, shares the spelling but has no past tense. This form belongs to the ring, not the office.
