 ## Stash
 
-The `IWithStash` interface enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current behavior. Upon changing the actor's message handler, i.e., right before invoking `Context.Become()` or `Context.Unbecome()`, all stashed messages can be "un-stashed", thereby prepending them to the actor's mailbox. This way, the stashed messages can be processed in the same order as they have been received originally. 
+The `UntypedActorWithStash` class enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current behavior.

This way, the stashed messages can be processed in the same order as they have been received originally. An actor that extends `UntypedActorWithStash` will automatically get a deque-based mailbox.
 
 > [!NOTE] 
-> The interface `IWithStash` implements the marker interface `IRequiresMessageQueue<DequeBasedMessageQueueSemantics>` which requests the system to automatically choose a deque-based mailbox implementation for the actor (defaults to an unbounded deque mailbox). If you want more control over the mailbox, see the documentation on mailboxes: [Mailboxes](xref:mailboxes).

 Invoking `UnstashAll()` enqueues messages from the stash to the actor's mailbox until the capacity of the mailbox (if any) has been reached (note that messages from the stash are prepended to the mailbox). In case a bounded mailbox overflows, a `MessageQueueAppendFailedException` is thrown. The stash is guaranteed to be empty after calling `UnstashAll()`.
 
-Note that the stash is part of the ephemeral actor state, unlike the mailbox. Therefore, it should be managed like other parts of the actor's state which have the same property.

-However, the `IWithStash` interface implementation of `PreRestart` will call `UnstashAll()`. This means that before the actor restarts, it will transfer all stashed messages back to the actor’s mailbox.

-The result of this is that when an actor is restarted, any stashed messages will be delivered to the new incarnation of the actor. This is usually the desired behavior.
