Hello

Can you try with the attached mailbox.lua? Better get all the *.lua
files from the latest version (2.0.6) and then overwrite mailbox.lua
with the one I'm attaching.

I think their is a bug in the match_*() methods...

Unfortunately, I'll be away for about 10 days, so I won't be able to get
back to you about this... Sorry...

Hope this solves the problem, otherwise I will look into the issue when
I'll be back...
