downloadEmail error on Save

I have just installed downloadEmail plugin fir first time. Its purpose for this site is to allow us to create a section editor based upon the _incoming_mail table from which site users can access submitted email content.
It works fine in that regard.
However, I would like to control postings going live on the site until an admin has ruled them publish-worthy. As I have often done for other similar situations, I created a "Publish" checkbox in the _incoming_mail table so that my query can limit results to only those set to publish. However, when I check the "Publish" box and attempt to save the record, I receive a forbidden error, (see attachment).
Is the _incoming_mail table configured in such a way as to disallow what I am trying to do?
Thanks.
I have encountered a new error with downloadEmail plugin.
After configuration, it worked well for a day or so. However, that was soon replaced by its downloading messages more than a dozen times.
After that, it has been failing each time, retrieving nothing and generating the error:
_mb_is_valid_encoding(): Argument #1 ($encoding) must be of type string, null given, called in /chroot/home/avisitwj/avisitwithjesus.com/html/cmsCSoft/plugins/downloadMail/downloadMail.php on line 473.
The full error message received by email is:
The following Scheduled Task did not complete successfully:

Line 473 references the function...
472 function _mb_convert_to_utf8($string, $fromEncoding, $defaultEncoding = 'UTF-8') {
473. $encoding = _mb_is_valid_encoding($fromEncoding) ? $fromEncoding : $defaultEncoding;
474. return mb_convert_encoding($string, 'UTF-8', $encoding);
}
Has anyone else encountered this behavior?

Hello pgplast,
Sorry I hadn't seen this sooner. Hopefully you got this resolved on your own, but if not I have a fix for you. The bug you encountered is something I have seen in another project using download mail so thought I would provide a fix below for anyone else who may encounter the problem inside the download mail plugin...
function _mb_convert_to_utf8($string, $fromEncoding, $defaultEncoding = 'UTF-8') {
$encoding = (!is_null($fromEncoding) && _mb_is_valid_encoding($fromEncoding)) ? $fromEncoding : $defaultEncoding;
return mb_convert_encoding($string, 'UTF-8', $encoding);
}The error occurs due to the $fromEncoding sometimes being null. Here we check for it. If it is null, we will use the default encoding (UTF-8).
Before implementing, be sure to backup your plugin. Keep in mind that this fix will get overwritten if you choose to update the plugin. I will have Dave put it in the next official release of the plugin.
Thanks again for the report!

Thanks very much, Tim.
Dave had earlier provided a similar solution.
Appreciate the followup.
