man Email::Folder () - read all the messages from a folder as Email::Simple objects.

NAME

Email::Folder - read all the messages from a folder as Email::Simple objects.

 use Email::Folder;

 my $folder = Email::Folder->new("some_file");

 print join "\n", map { $_->header("Subject") } $folder->messages;

Takes the name of a folder, and a hash of options

If a 'reader' option is passed in then that is used as the class to read in messages with.

Returns a list containing all of the messages in the folder. Can only be called once as it drains the iterator.

acts as an iterator. reads the next message from a folder. returns false at the end of the folder

Takes a raw RFC822 message and blesses it into a class.

By default this is an Email::Simple object but can easily be overriden in a subclass.

For example, this simple subclass just returns the raw rfc822 messages, and exposes the speed of the parser.

 package Email::RawFolder;
 use base 'Email::Folder';
 sub bless_message { $_[1] };
 1;

read-only accessor to the underlying Email::Reader subclass instance
