## DESCRIPTION
    These pages do only describe methods which relate to folders. If you access the knowledge of a
    message, then read [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown).

    During its life, a message will pass through certain stages. These stages were introduced to
    reduce the access-time to the folder. Changing from stage, the message's body and head objects
    may change.

    Extends "The message" in [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown).

    $obj->container()
        Inherited, see "The message" in [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown)

    $obj->copyTo($folder, %options)
        Copy the message to the indicated opened $folder, without deleting the original. The coerced
        message (the clone in the destination folder) is returned.

         -Option      --Default
          shallow       <false>
          shallow_body  <false>
          shallow_head  <false>
          share         <false>

        shallow => BOOLEAN
          Used for clone(shallow).

        shallow_body => BOOLEAN
          Used for clone(shallow_body).

        shallow_head => BOOLEAN
          Used for clone(shallow_head).

        share => BOOLEAN
          Try to share the physical storage of the message between the two folders. Sometimes, they
          even may be of different types. When not possible, this options will be silently ignored.

        example:

         my $draft = $mgr->open(folder => 'Draft');
         $message->copyTo($draft, share => 1);

    $obj->folder( [$folder] )
        In with folder did we detect this message/dummy? This is a reference to the folder-object.

    $obj->isDummy()
        Inherited, see "The message" in [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown)

    $obj->isPart()

    $obj->messageId()
        Inherited, see "The message" in [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown)

    $obj->moveTo($folder, %options)
        Move the message from this folder to the $folder specified. This will create a copy using
        clone() first. Then, this original message is flagged to get deleted. So until the source
        folder is closed, two copies of the message may stay in memory.

        The newly created message clone (part of the destination folder) is returned. All %options
        are passed to copyTo()

         -Option      --Default
          shallow_body  <undef>
          share         <true unless shallow_body exists>

        shallow_body => BOOLEAN
          Only create a shallow body, which means that the header can not be reused. A message can
          therefore not be shared in storage unless explicitly stated.

        share => BOOLEAN
          When there is a chance that the original message can be undeleted, then this must be set
          to false. Otherwise a shallow clone will be made, which will share the header which can be
          modified in the undeleted message.

        example: of moving a message

         my $trash = [Mail::Box::Mbox](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ABox%3A%3AMbox/markdown)->new(folder => 'trash');
         my $t = $msg->moveTo($trash);

        is equivalent to

         my $t = $msg->copyTo($trash, share => 1);
         $msg->delete;

    $obj->diskDelete()
        Remove a message from disk. This is not from the folder, but everything else, like parts of
        the message which are stored outside from the folder.

    $obj->isDelayed()
        Inherited, see "Internals" in [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown)

    $obj->readBody( $parser, $head, [$bodytype] )
        Read the body of one message. The $parser gives access to the folder file. The $head has
        been read with readHead(). The optional $bodytype supplies the class name of the body to be
        created, or a code reference to a routine which can produce a body type based on the head
        (passed as first argument).

        By default, the $bodytype will call [Mail::Box::determineBodyType](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ABox%3A%3AdetermineBodyType/markdown)() where the message will be
        added to.

    $obj->DESTROY()
        Inherited, see "Cleanup" in [Mail::Reporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AReporter/markdown)

    $obj->destruct()
        Removes most of the memory occupied by the message by detaching the header and body. Then,
        the object changes into a [Mail::Box::Message::Destructed](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ABox%3A%3AMessage%3A%3ADestructed/markdown) which will catch all attempts to
        access the header and body. Be careful with the usage of this method.

## DIAGNOSTICS
    Error: Cannot coerce a $class object into a $class object
    Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
        Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH",
        and "ENCAPSULATE".

    Error: Cannot include reply source as $include.
        Unknown alternative for the "include" option of reply(). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE",
        and "ATTACH".

    Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
        The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to someone else without
        modification; you must specified it's new destination. If you have the urge not to specify
        any destination, you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the content,
        use forward().

    Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
    Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
    Error: No address to create forwarded to.
        If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.

    Error: No default mailer found to send message.
        The message send() mechanism had not enough information to automatically find a mail
        transfer agent to sent this message. Specify a mailer explicitly using the "via" options.

    Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.
    Error: Only build() [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown)'s; they are not in a folder yet
        You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of folder, but you need to
        do that in two steps. First, create a normal [Mail::Message](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3AMessage/markdown), and then add it to the folder.
        During this [Mail::Box::addMessage](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Mail%3A%3ABox%3A%3AaddMessage/markdown)() process, the message will get coerce()-d into the right
        message type, adding storage information and the like.

    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: coercion starts with some object
