Public bug reported:

The new Inbox was a third-party contribution authored by Tobias and
graciously shared with the community. Unfortunately, it's a bit hacky
that it was implemented as an artefact, since it does not provide any
artefact functionality (i.e. no entities that are meant to be displayed
via blocks in a portfolio Page).

I understand the reason it was done that way, was because Tobias wanted
to write it as a plugin (since he first wrote it for his own use and
didn't want to hack the core), and the generic "module" plugin type
wasn't yet available when he wrote it. But now that we have the "module"
plugin type, we should really migrate the
multirecipientinboxnotification to that type.
