239Each agent's mailbox is a JSON file at `~/.claude/teams/{team-name}/inboxes/{agent-name}.json`. Claude Code validates every entry when it reads a mailbox file. Entries that don't match the message format are reported as errors and removed from the file; the valid messages are still delivered. Before v2.1.207, a single malformed mailbox entry caused a repeated error every second and blocked delivery for that mailbox until you deleted the file manually.

241241Claude Code reports a message as sent only when the write to the recipient's mailbox file succeeds, whether the message is plain text or a structured protocol message such as a plan approval or shutdown request. When the write fails, for example because the disk is full or the mailbox directory isn't writable, the sending agent receives an error and nothing is sent. See [Failed to write to a teammate's inbox](/docs/en/errors#failed-to-write-to-a-teammate-inbox) for the error messages and recovery steps.
