I use the following method to get the mailbox for a peer under 1.4:

exten => *98,n,Set(peer=${SIPCHANINFO(peername)}) ; Get the peer
exten => *98,n,Set(mailbox=${SIPPEER(${peer},mailbox)}); Get the mailbox

I dont know about it being the best or recommended method but I've yet
to have it break on me.
