ExtLibUtil.getCurrentSessionAsSigner open mail.box - xpages

Question

Opening mail.box with ExtLibUtil.getCurrentSessionAsSigner does not work for mail.box.
All elements are signed with the same id.
I'd like to copy mails, created by Anonymous, to mail.box. Any ideas, workarounds?

I can't see anything wrong in your code, although for best practice I would recommend setting server to s.getServerName(), "" has different meanings for XPiNC.
Does your signer have access to mail.box? This should work and I've used such code before, amongst other places in XPages OpenLog Logger. If there are multiple mail.box databases set up, Domino will automatically still get the relevant one.
