I agree, it seems to behave as you say.

However, I just double-checked on my system with this:
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => s,2,SetVar(DialOpts=T)
exten => _620X,1,MailboxExists(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _620X,2,NoOp(Box ${EXTEN:1} does not exist)
exten => _620X,3,Goto(s,1)
exten => _620X,102,NoOp(Box ${EXTEN:1} exists)
exten => _620X,103,Goto(s,1)

and the only boxes that exist are 0 and 201.

I get the following:

Could be, I dunno for sure (I'm so new at this that I'm not puttin' a 
bet on anything :)

The first * we had was from near the end of May and I updated on 6/17 
or 6/18.  The first MailboxExists() didn't work, now it works as 
documented.  Perhaps it was fixed in between those dates but was 
implemented backwards from the docs and they fixed it between when you 
got it and when I did...  What're the odds??

Thanks!
