Yes i have seen this as well. It retrieves only the default set email
and IIRC this is a feature not a bug. if you click on the arrow pointing
down you will see get all messages and that will grab for all boxes. I
will check on if we can do anything or if upstream has planned to change
this. I do remember looking upstream about this before and never found
anything.
I was talking to Alexander and he said you need to enable it. once i get caught up on email i will look into it since i have to change config options anyway
