I thought the group inbox was a _filter_ on the user’s inbox which only showed you that group’s messages, and not the only way to access them. It makes a lot of sense to show group messages in a user’s inbox. When I’m looking at my inbox, I’m looking at a dashboard of things on which I have to decide: reply or archive. I don’t _only_ want to see the messages for which I am the sole recipient. I want to see _all_ the messages which are addressed to me – including group messages. Think about it in terms of an email account. All new emails land in my inbox regardless of whether I am their sole recipient. Some of our users belong to half-a-dozen groups and clicking through them to find messages can be tricky, especially as there’s overlap between some of the groups. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suggestion-hide-show-group-inbox-via-user-preference-or-group-admin-setting/70463)._
