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.
