I did see the suggestion.  I just didn't comment on it, because I had
no 
comment of any value to make on it.  As for who said remove it, I
read that 
into your comment about mailboxes being unique like SIP or IAX 
devices.  Perhaps I mistook you meaning mailboxes should be unique
versus 
mailbox at context should be unique.  Sorry if that is the case.
