This doesn't seem to be a multipart formpost, and then -d is correct. I'm a
bit puzzled though since the form includes a file upload which I was under the
impression that you always use multipart formposts for...

This last option will not upload the file, only pass on the path.

This is using the wrong URL. You should use the /cehttp/servlet/MailboxServlet
one.

That looks like a curl bug.

That's a pretty old version. I would recommend upgrading to something newer
and better.
