**Inbox** brings the message conversations of your X accounts into one place.

## How messages arrive {#how-messages-arrive}

Messages arrive when an X account's inbox is synced on its VPS. The inbox is a synced copy of X, not a live mirror — a brand-new message shows up after the next sync.

## Reply {#reply}

Choose a conversation, write your answer and choose **Send**. X-Buddy sends it **word for word** (only leading and trailing spaces are trimmed) from that X account, through X's real interface, and checks that it appeared. It's a job like any other, so it respects the X account's limits, run hours and safety.

If X-Buddy can't confirm a message was sent, it looks for it in the inbox and **never resends it automatically**. See [Unknown outcomes](/docs/en/troubleshooting#unknown-outcomes).

## X Chat passcode {#x-chat-passcode}

X's encrypted chat asks for a passcode. An **Owner or Manager** can save it per X account; it's stored encrypted and never shown again. With it, X-Buddy unlocks X Chat by itself.

If X says the saved passcode is wrong, you'll see **X rejected the saved passcode — click to enter it again.** X-Buddy stops trying until someone enters the right one, so X Chat doesn't lock.

## Manual follow-up {#manual-follow-up}

Turn on **Manual follow-up** for a person to take over by hand: they're removed from all sequences. Turning it off later does **not** put them back into any sequence.

A reply from the person also stops every live sequence for them — see [Campaigns & sequences](/docs/en/campaigns#replies-stop-everything).

## Drafts {#drafts}

What you type is kept as a draft per workspace, X account and conversation, in this browser tab. Drafts don't travel between devices, and a browser that blocks or fills its storage can't keep them.
