NAME

Email::FolderType::Local - Recognize folder types on the local file system.

SYNOPSIS

  use Email::FolderType qw[folder_type];


  my $type = folder_type($folder) || 'unknown';
  print "$folder is type $type.\n";

DESCRIPTION

Registers several mail folder types that would be found on the local filesystem.

Mbox

  print 'Mbox' if folder_type('mboxmail') eq 'Mbox';

Returns this folder type for pretty much anything. Because of this, Mbox is registered first so it will be the very last type tested.

Ezmlm

  print 'Ezmlm' if folder_type('mail//') eq 'Ezmlm';

Returns this folder type if the folder ends in CW//, or if the folder contains a directory named CWarchive.

Maildir

  print 'Maildir' if folder_type('mail/') eq 'Maildir';

Returns this folder type if the folder name ends in CW/, or if the folder contains a directory named CWcur.

MH

  print 'MH' if folder_type('mail/.') eq 'MH';

returns this folder type if the folder name ends in CW/..
