Try switching the order of the <mailbox> element with the <password> element (i.e having the <password> element last within the <mailname> element). The order should not matter, but it seems it does

Hey @Kaspar , thanks for the quick response!
This might explain some other hickups I've faced with XML API. Will keep in mind that order sometimes matter.
Right now I've worked around this using <update> packet to enable mailbox post email creation.
