# Do not instantiate this object
See SYNOPSIS in Mail::Box
This documentation describes the way directory organized mailboxes work.
At the moment, this object is extended by
- Mail::Box::MH
MH folders, which are represented by a directory containing files which
are sequentially numbered.
- Mail::Box::Maildir
Maildir folders, which are located in a directory which has sub-directories
named tmp
, new
, and cur
. Each of these directories may contain
files with names which are a combination of a numeric timestamp and some
status flags.
- Mail::Box::Netzwert
This folder type was especially developed for Netzwert AG, optimized to
run on a cluster of servers with folders on NFS. The code is not publicly
available (yet).
