Previously, if mbox_request_channel_byname was used with a name which did not exist in the "mbox-names" property of a mailbox client, the mailbox corresponding to the last entry in the "mbox-names" list would be incorrectly selected. With this patch, -EINVAL is returned if the named mailbox is not found.
