`mailboxes.update`

Change a connected inbox with id, expectedRevision and idempotencyKey: scanEnabled pauses (false) or resumes (true) all reading, dailyChecks turns daily checks on (reading back 90 days) or off, searchForOthers lets Autopilot search it for other members' receipts, and scanFrom changes how far back it reads. Only the member who connected it can resume it or widen what is read, and only from the dashboard; an administrator can pause it or turn those off, and integrations can only narrow.
