Hello Zheng,
If configure only the mailbox you would only be able to receive an ID, but if you enable the individual mask you would be able to receive more than one ID.
For example, if you have the ID = 0x700 and set the mask to 0x7FE you will be able to receive the ID = 0x700 and 0x701.
The description of this field is the next one:

So if you set any bit in the mask to 0, will not matter in any state you received this bit in the ID it will let it pass to the mailbox.
Best Regards,
Alexis Andalon
