English term or phrase: mail slot

Hallo,

in einer Presseveröffentlichung stellt ein US-Unternehmen eine neue "tape library" (Bandbibliothek) vor.
"Each library includes four removable 12-slot magazines, and a user configurable 3 slot - mail slot dedicated for import/export of data cartridges."

Mir ist der Zusammenhang zwischen der Bandbibliothek und dem Passus "mail slot..." nicht ganz klar. Was hat ein Massenspeicher mit Mails zu tun? Wer erleuchtet mich?

Danke!

Mail-Fach

Explanation:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c006...

Die Mail-Fachfunktion ermöglicht das Einlegen und Entfernen von bis zu drei Kassetten ohne
Entfernen des gesamten Magazins. Der Vorteil beim Verwenden eines Mail-Fachs besteht darin, dass die
Library nicht den Bestand des gesamten Magazins einliest. Dadurch wird der ordnungsgemäße Betrieb der
Library auch dann sichergestellt, wenn das Mail-Fach geöffnet ist.

Scheint ein Kassetteneinschub zu sein.
