Mail::Box::Manage::User(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Box::Manage::User(3pm)
NAME
Mail::Box::Manage::User - manage the folders of a user
INHERITANCE
Mail::Box::Manage::User
is a Mail::Box::Manager
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Box::Manage::User;
use User::Identity;
my $id = User::Identity->new(...);
my $user = Mail::Box::Manage::User->new
( identity => $id
, folderdir => "$ENV{HOME}/Mail"
, inbox => $ENV{MAIL}
);
my $inbox = $user->open($user->inbox);
my $top = $user->topfolder;
DESCRIPTION
Where the Mail::Box::Manager takes care of some set of open folder, this extension will
add knowledge about some related person. At the same time, it will try to cache some
information about that person's folder files.
METHODS
Constructors
Mail::Box::Manage::User->new(ARGS)
Use new(default_folder_type) to explicitly state which kind of folders you use.
Option --Defined in --Default
autodetect Mail::Box::Manager undef
collection_type Mail::Box::Collection
default_folder_type Mail::Box::Manager 'mbox'
delimiter "/"
folder_id_type Mail::Box::Identity
folder_types Mail::Box::Manager <all standard types>
folderdir Mail::Box::Manager [ '.' ]
folderdirs Mail::Box::Manager <synonym for C<folderdir>>
identity <required>
inbox undef
log Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS'
topfolder_name '='
trace Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS'
. autodetect => TYPE|ARRAY-OF-TYPES
. collection_type => CLASS
Subfolders grouped together.
. default_folder_type => NAME|CLASS
. delimiter => STRING
The separator used in folder names. This doesn't need to be the same as your
directory system is using.
. folder_id_type => CLASS|OBJECT
. folder_types => NEW-TYPE | ARRAY-OF-NEW-TYPES
. folderdir => DIRECTORY
. folderdirs => [DIRECTORIES]
. identity => OBJECT
The main difference between the Mail::Box::Manager and this class, is the concept
of some person (or virtual person) who's files are being administered by this
object. The OBJECT is an User::Identity.
The smallest identity that will do: "my $id = User::Identity->new('myname')"
. inbox => NAME
The name of the user's inbox.
. log => LEVEL
. topfolder_name => STRING
. trace => LEVEL
Attributes
$obj->defaultFolderType
See "Attributes" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->folderTypes
See "Attributes" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->folderdir
See "Attributes" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->identity
Returns a User::Identity object.
$obj->inbox([NAME])
(Set and) get the NAME of the mailbox which is considered the folder for incoming
mail. In many protocols, this folder is handled seperately. For instance in IMAP
this is the only case-insensitive folder name.
$obj->registerType(TYPE, CLASS [,OPTIONS])
See "Attributes" in Mail::Box::Manager
Manage open folders
$obj->close(FOLDER, OPTIONS)
See "Manage open folders" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->closeAllFolders(, OPTIONS)
See "Manage open folders" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->isOpenFolder(FOLDER)
See "Manage open folders" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->open([FOLDERNAME], OPTIONS)
See "Manage open folders" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->openFolders
See "Manage open folders" in Mail::Box::Manager
Manage existing folders
$obj->create(NAME, OPTIONS)
Creates a new folder with the specified name. An folder's administrative structure
(Mail::Box::Identity) is returned, but the folder is not opened.
In the accidental case that the folder already exists, a warning will be issued, and
an empty list/undef returned.
The OPTIONS are passed to Mail::Box::create() of your default folder type, except for
the options intended for this method itself.
Option --Default
create_real <true>
create_supers <false>
deleted <false>
id_options []
. create_real => BOOLEAN
When this option is false, the pysical folder will not be created, but only the
administration is updated.
. create_supers => BOOLEAN
When you create a folder where upper hierarchy level are missing, they will be
created as well.
. deleted => BOOLEAN
The folder starts as deleted.
. id_options => ARRAY
Values passed to the instantiated Mail::Box::Identity. That object is very picky
about the initiation values it accepts.
$obj->delete(NAME)
Remove all signs from the folder on the file-system. Messages still in the folder
will be removed. This method returns a true value when the folder has been removed or
not found, so "false" means failure.
It is also possible to delete a folder using "$folder->delete", which will call this
method here. OPTIONS, which are used for some other folder types, will be ignored
here: the user's index contains the required details.
Option --Defined in --Default
recursive Mail::Box::Manager <folder's default>
. recursive => BOOLEAN
example: how to delete a folder
print "no xyz (anymore)\n" if $user->delete('xyz');
$obj->folder(NAME)
Returns the folder description, a Mail::Box::Identity.
$obj->folderCollection(NAME)
Returns a pair: the folder collection (Mail::Box::Collection) and the base name of
NAME.
$obj->rename(OLDNAME, NEWNAME, OPTIONS)
Rename the folder with name OLDNAME to NEWNAME. Both names are full pathnames.
Option --Default
create_supers <false>
. create_supers => BOOLEAN
When you rename a folder to a place where upper hierarchy levels are missing, they
will get be defined, but with the deleted flag set.
$obj->topfolder
Returns the top folder of the user's mailbox storage.

$obj->appendMessage([FOLDER|FOLDERNAME,] MESSAGES, OPTIONS)
See "Move messages to folders" in Mail::Box::Manager
$obj->copyMessage([FOLDER|FOLDERNAME,] MESSAGES, OPTIONS)

DETAILS
DIAGNOSTICS
Error: Cannot create $name: higher levels missing
Unless you set create(create_supers), all higher level folders must exist before this
new one can be created.
Error: Cannot rename $name to $new: higher levels missing
Unless you set create(create_supers), all higher level folders must exist before this
new one can be created.
Error: Folder $name is already open.
You cannot ask the manager for a folder which is already open. In some older releases
(before MailBox 2.049), this was permitted, but then behaviour changed, because many
nasty side-effects are to be expected. For instance, an Mail::Box::update() on one
folder handle would influence the second, probably unexpectedly.
Error: Folder $name is not a Mail::Box; cannot add a message.
The folder where the message should be appended to is an object which is not a folder
type which extends Mail::Box. Probably, it is not a folder at all.
Warning: Folder does not exist, failed opening $type folder $name.
The folder does not exist and creating is not permitted (see open(create)) or did not
succeed. When you do not have sufficient access rights to the folder (for instance
wrong password for POP3), this warning will be produced as well.
The manager tried to open a folder of the specified type. It may help to explicitly
state the type of your folder with the "type" option. There will probably be another
warning or error message which is related to this report and provides more details
about its cause. You may also have a look at new(autodetect) and new(folder_types).
Warning: Folder type $type is unknown, using autodetect.
The specified folder type (see open(type), possibly derived from the folder name when
specified as url) is not known to the manager. This may mean that you forgot to
require the Mail::Box extension which implements this folder type, but probably it is
a typo. Usually, the manager is able to figure-out which type to use by itself.
Error: Illegal folder URL '$url'.
The folder name was specified as URL, but not according to the syntax. See
decodeFolderURL() for an description of the syntax.
Error: No foldername specified to open.
"open()" needs a folder name as first argument (before the list of options), or with
the "folder" option within the list. If no name was found, the MAIL environment
variable is checked. When even that does not result in a usable folder, then this
error is produced. The error may be caused by an accidental odd-length option list.
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 remove folder $dir
Error: Use appendMessage() to add messages which are not in a folder.
You do not need to copy this message into the folder, because you do not share the
message between folders.
Warning: Use moveMessage() or copyMessage() to move between open folders.
The message is already part of a folder, and now it should be appended to a different
folder. You need to decide between copy or move, which both will clone the message
(not the body, because they are immutable).
Warning: Will never create a folder $name without having write access.
You have set open(create), but only want to read the folder. Create is only useful
for folders which have write or append access modes (see Mail::Box::new(access)).
