I know. I have read this file but probably forgot about this detail.
And I also looked at the wiki, but it's also not clear about mbox_fetch:

http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/Porting_for_an_OS_1.4.0

------------------
u32_t sys_arch_mbox_fetch(sys_mbox_t * mbox, void **msg, u32_t timeout). 

Blocks the thread until a message arrives in the mailbox, but does not block 
the thread longer than timeout milliseconds (similar to the sys_arch_sem_wait() 
function).
------------------

Thanks for your work of course.
