Description

MailboxQuery doesn't pay any attention to namespace of the mailbox it is based on. For example, Mozilla Thunderbird might to mailbox search with expressions like #private.%. That expression is passed directly to the isExpressionMatch method of the MailboxQuery class. This has obviously incorrect results.

Arguments to the isExpressionMatch method should be parsed to separate the namespace from the mailbox name or isExpressionMatch should do the parsing itself. In that case the argument name should be renamed to something like 'searchExpression' instead of 'name' which doesn't convey the right meaning.
