Why is mstor throwing a NotSerializableException on inbox.close()

Question

I'm using the basic mstor logic with version 1.0.0 of of the maven mstor library, but it's throwing an Exception on the inbox.close() method. Note: I am not doing any writing to the disk so this Exception is odd. I made, as an attempt, my class which calls this code to "implement Serializable", but that did not help.

This code is running from a SpringBoot REST Service.

If I don't do an inbox.close(), then on Windows the mbox file is still open (not released by this library) after the method below completes.

Here's the basic code:

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "mstor");
properties.setProperty("mstor.mbox.metadataStrategy", "none");
properties.setProperty("mstor.mbox.cacheBuffers", "disabled");
properties.setProperty("mstor.mbox.bufferStrategy", "mapped");
properties.setProperty("mstor.metadata", "disabled");
properties.setProperty("mstor.mozillaCompatibility", "enabled");
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties);

try {
store = session.getStore(new URLName("mstor:" + pathToMboxFile));

store.connect();
inbox = (MStorFolder) store.getDefaultFolder();

inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

Message[] messages = inbox.getMessages();

int bodyPartCount = 0;

// ***********************
// process all mbox data.
// *************************

for (int pos = 0; pos < messages.length; pos++)
{

// processing.
}

catch (NoSuchProviderException e)
{
log.debug("MboxController NoSuchProviderException Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
catch (javax.mail.MessagingException e)
{
errors.append(e);
log.debug("MboxController MessagingException Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
finally
{
// close the mbox store
try
{
inbox.close(false);
store.close();
}
catch (MessagingException e)
{
log.debug("MboxController Closing Store Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
}

Now, although the code does work and returns the mbox text and closes the file, when the inbox.close(false) runs, I get this error stack (or something close to it) each time in the Tomcat log:
