        attributes: { exclude: ['movedToTrashAt'] }
    }).then(result => console.log(result), err => console.error(err));

What do you expect to happen?

Getting back a list of mailbox entries with included mail (content) with included recipients, that belong to a user (ownerId), where the user is the recipient and that are not moved to trash.

What is actually happening?
