   second cell is used to identify the mailbox that the client is going

+  For shared mailboxes, the first cell composed of two fields:
+    - bits 15..8:
+        A bit mask of flags that further specifies the type of shared
+        mailbox to be used (based on the data size). If no flag is

+    - bits 7..0:
+        Defines the type of the mailbox to be used. This field should be
