Mail::Box::Locker::Multi - lock a folder in all ways which work

 Mail::Box::Locker::Multi
   is a Mail::Box::Locker
   is a Mail::Reporter

 See Mail::Box::Locker

The CW::Multi locker locks a folder in each way it can. This way, the chance is highest that any other program will leave the folder alone during our access to it.

NFS-lock and Flock are tried. More may be added when the ways to lock are extended. DotLock overlaps with NFS-lock, but NFS-lock is safer, so that version is preferred.

Error: Package CW$package does not implement CW$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.
