NAME
Email::Folder - read all the messages from a folder as Email::Simple objects.
SYNOPSIS
use Email::Folder;
my $folder = Email::Folder->new("some_file");
print join "\n", map { $_->header("Subject") }, $folder->messages;METHODS
new($folder, %options)
Takes the name of a folder, and a hash of options
messages
Returns a list containing all of the messages in the folder. Can only be called once as it drains the iterator.
next_message
acts as an iterator. reads the next message from a folder. returns false at the end of the folder
bless_message($message)
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] };
