Inboxes are just relays. They are announced in an event and a client can pick up that event and send a note to these relays that you said you want to receive messages on. Instead of a client just looking on all relays for notes. Especially for DMS it makes sense. You could say your inbox is your own relay and only there will DMs be sent to

Okay, thanks! So the general relay connection must still be established between the two users. That way the sender will get the information about which inbox relay has to be used.

But: which clients are able to use inbox events? Or is it only Amethyst atm? And if that's the case: do other clients simply send DMs via the usual relay connections and will my Amethyst still show them in my DMs? Will I know if it was sent via my inbox relays or via general relays?

So many questions 😜 thanks in advance nostr:npub1nxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjquaa6q8 !

But I'm kinda preparing the next Nostr FM episode here 😂

You say where you want it being send to, it doesn't keep other clients from sending it to whatever relays they want. 🙃
