NAME
Mail::Box::Dir - handle folders with a file per message.
INHERITANCE
Mail::Box::Dir
is a Mail::Box
is a Mail::Reporter
Mail::Box::Dir is extended by
Mail::Box::MH
Mail::Box::Maildir
SYNOPSIS
# Do not instantiate this object
DESCRIPTION
This documentation describes the way directory organized mailboxes work. At the moment,
this object is extended by
o Mail::Box::MH
MH folders, which are represented by a directory containing files which are
sequentially numbered.
o Mail::Box::Maildir
Maildir folders, which are located in a directory which has sub-directories named
"tmp", "new", and "cur". Each of these directories may contain files with names which
are a combination of a numeric timestamp and some status flags.
o Mail::Box::Netzwert
This folder type was especially developed for Netzwert AG, optimized to run on a
cluster of servers with folders on NFS. The code is not publicly available (yet).

DETAILS
DIAGNOSTICS
Warning: Changes not written to read-only folder $self.
You have opened the folder read-only --which is the default set by new(access)--, made
modifications, and now want to close it. Set close(force) if you want to overrule the
access mode, or close the folder with close(write) set to "NEVER".
Error: Copying failed for one message.
For some reason, for instance disc full, removed by external process, or read-
protection, it is impossible to copy one of the messages. Copying will proceed for
the other messages.
Error: Destination folder $name is not writable.
The folder where the messages are copied to is not opened with write access (see
new(access)). This has no relation with write permission to the folder which is
controled by your operating system.
Warning: Different messages with id $msgid
The message id is discovered more than once within the same folder, but the content of
the message seems to be different. This should not be possible: each message must be
unique.
Error: Folder $name is opened read-only
You can not write to this folder unless you have opened the folder to write or append
with new(access), or the "force" option is set true.
Error: Folder $name not deleted: not writable.
The folder must be opened with write access via new(access), otherwise removing it
will be refused. So, you may have write-access according to the operating system, but
that will not automatically mean that this "delete" method permits you to. The
reverse remark is valid as well.
Warning: Folder directory $directory is write-protected.
The folder directory does already exist and is write protected, which may interfere
with the requested write access. Change new(access) or the permissions on the
directory.
Error: Invalid timespan '$timespan' specified.
The string does not follow the strict rules of the time span syntax which is permitted
as parameter.
Warning: Message-id '$msgid' does not contain a domain.
According to the RFCs, message-ids need to contain a unique random part, then an "@",
and then a domain name. This is made to avoid the creation of two messages with the
same id. The warning emerges when the "@" is missing from the string.
Warning: No directory $name for folder of $class
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this
method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do
implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should
investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
Error: Unable to create subfolder $name of $folder.
The copy includes the subfolders, but for some reason it was not possible to copy one
of these. Copying will proceed for all other sub-folders.
Error: Writing folder $name failed
For some reason (you probably got more error messages about this problem) it is
impossible to write the folder, although you should because there were changes made.
