Each message is stored in a separate file. This seems useful, because changes in a folder change only a few of these small files, in contrast with file-based folders where changes in a folder cause rewrites of huge folder-files. .PP However, Maildir based folders perform very bad if you need header information of all messages. For instance, if you want to have full knowledge about all message-threads (see Mail::Box::Thread::Manager) in the folder, it requires to read all header lines in all message files. And usually, reading your messages as threads is desired. Maildir maintains a tiny amount of info visible in the filename, which may make it perform just a little bit faster than \s-1MH.\s0 .SH "DIAGNOSTICS" .IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS" .ie n .IP "Error: Cannot append Maildir message in $new to folder $self." 4 .el .IP "Error: Cannot append Maildir message in \f(CW$new\fR to folder \f(CW$self\fR." 4 .IX Item "Error: Cannot append Maildir message in $new to folder $self." The message (or messages) could not be stored in the right directories for the Maildir folder. .ie n .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir directory $dir: $!" 4 .el .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir directory \f(CW$dir:\fR $!" 4 .IX Item "Error: Cannot create Maildir directory $dir: $!" A Maildir folder is represented by a directory, with some sub-directories. The top folder directory could not be created for the reason indicated. .ie n .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir folder $name." 4 .el .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir folder \f(CW$name\fR." 4 .IX Item "Error: Cannot create Maildir folder $name." One or more of the directories required to administer a Maildir folder could not be created. .ie n .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir message file $new." 4 .el .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir message file \f(CW$new\fR." 4 .IX Item "Error: Cannot create Maildir message file $new." A message is converted from some other message format into a Maildir format by writing it to a file with a name which contains the status flags of the message. Apparently, creating this file failed. .ie n .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir subdir $dir: $!" 4 .el .IP "Error: Cannot create Maildir subdir \f(CW$dir:\fR $!" 4 .IX Item "Error: Cannot create Maildir subdir $dir: $!" Each Maildir folder has three sub-directories for administration: \f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR, \&\f(CW\*(C`tmp\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`cur\*(C'\fR. The mentioned directory could not be created for the indicated reason. .ie n .IP "Warning: Changes not written to read-only folder $self." 4 .el .IP "Warning: Changes not written to read-only folder \f(CW$self\fR." 4 .IX Item "Warning: Changes not written to read-only folder $self." You have opened the folder read-only \-\-which is the default set by new(access)\-\-, made modifications, and now want to close it. Set close(force) if you want to overrule the access mode, or close the folder with close(write) set to \f(CW\*(C`NEVER\*(C'\fR. .IP "Error: Copying failed for one message." 4 .IX Item "Error: Copying failed for one message." For some reason, for instance disc full, removed by external process, or read-protection, it is impossible to copy one of the messages. Copying will proceed for the other messages. .ie n .IP "Error: Destination folder $name is not writable." 4 .el .IP "Error: Destination folder \f(CW$name\fR is not writable." 4 .IX Item "Error: Destination folder $name is not writable." The folder where the messages are copied to is not opened with write access (see new(access)). This has no relation with write permission to the folder which is controled by your operating system. .ie n .IP "Warning: Different messages with id $msgid" 4 .el .IP "Warning: Different messages with id \f(CW$msgid\fR" 4 .IX Item "Warning: Different messages with id $msgid" The message id is discovered more than once within the same folder, but the content of the message seems to be different. This should not be possible: each message must be unique. .ie n .IP "Error: Folder $name is opened read-only" 4 .el .IP "Error: Folder \f(CW$name\fR is opened read-only" 4 .IX Item "Error: Folder $name is opened read-only" You can not write to this folder unless you have opened the folder to write or append with new(access), or the \f(CW\*(C`force\*(C'\fR option is set true. .ie n .IP "Error: Folder $name not deleted: not writable." 4 .el .IP "Error: Folder \f(CW$name\fR not deleted: not writable." 4 .IX Item "Error: Folder $name not deleted: not writable." The folder must be opened with write access via new(access), otherwise removing it will be refused. So, you may have write-access according to the operating system, but that will not automatically mean that this \&\f(CW\*(C`delete\*(C'\fR method permits you to. The reverse remark is valid as well. .IP "Error: Invalid timespan '$timespan' specified." 4 .IX Item "Error: Invalid timespan '$timespan' specified." The string does not follow the strict rules of the time span syntax which is permitted as parameter. .IP "Warning: Message-id '$msgid' does not contain a domain." 4 .IX Item "Warning: Message-id '$msgid' does not contain a domain." According to the RFCs, message-ids need to contain a unique random part, then an \f(CW\*(C`@\*(C'\fR, and then a domain name. This is made to avoid the creation of two messages with the same id. The warning emerges when the \f(CW\*(C`@\*(C'\fR is missing from the string. .ie n .IP "Error: Package $package does not implement $method." 4 .el .IP "Error: Package \f(CW$package\fR does not implement \f(CW$method\fR." 4 .IX Item "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. .ie n .IP "Error: Unable to create subfolder $name of $folder." 4 .el .IP "Error: Unable to create subfolder \f(CW$name\fR of \f(CW$folder\fR." 4 .IX Item "Error: Unable to create subfolder $name of $folder." The copy includes the subfolders, but for some reason it was not possible to copy one of these. Copying will proceed for all other sub-folders. .ie n .IP "Error: Writing folder $name failed" 4 .el .IP "Error: Writing folder \f(CW$name\fR failed" 4 .IX Item "Error: Writing folder $name failed" For some reason (you probably got more error messages about this problem) it is impossible to write the folder, although you should because there were changes made. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" This module is part of Mail-Box distribution version 2.117, built on August 24, 2014.
