 # Manage XMTP inboxes
 
+With XMTP, a user can have one or more inboxes they use to access their messages. An inbox can have multiple wallet addresses associated with it. All messages associated with these addresses flow through the one inbox ID and are accessible in any XMTP app.
+
+For an overview of inbox IDs and their future in XMTP, see [Identity in XMTP](https://xmtp.org/identity).
+
 The first time someone uses your app with a wallet address they've never used with any app built with XMTP, your app creates an inbox ID and installation ID associated with the wallet address. To do this, you [create a client](https://docs.xmtp.org/inboxes/build-inbox#create-an-xmtp-client) for their wallet address. 
 
 The client creates an inbox ID and installation ID associated with the wallet address. By default, this wallet address is designated as the recovery address. A recovery address will always have the same inbox ID and cannot be reassigned to a different inbox ID.
