Hi,

This is a cosmetic bug when you are polling the devices via SNMP management through Cisco View or HP Openview. "MAILBOX" is the protocol used on IMA. You can open a TAC case and get a recommended IOS to fix the bug.

Well I've had similar problem. On my 3640 IMA card can have only four IMA groups and if you have phisical interface active some kind of internal IMA group is automatically asigned to it. When I shuted down unused phisical interface everything was ok.
