=head1 NAME
Mail::Server - Base class for email servers in MailBox
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Server
is a Mail::Reporter
Mail::Server is extended by
Mail::Server::IMAP4
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $server = Mail::Server::IMAP4->new($msg);
my $server = Mail::Server::POP3->new($msg);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is a place-holder, logical in the class hierarchy. On the
moment, no full server has been implemented, but some parts of IMAP4
exist.
Servers:
=over 4
=item * L<Mail::Server::IMAP4|Mail::Server::IMAP4>
Partial IMAP4 implementation.

=head1 DETAILS
# This file contains parts which could be used for doc
* Labels
Labels are flags which come with a message. Usually: old, seen, replied,
flagged, and trashed.
The folder-types differ how they store label information. Mbox folders
use the Status and X-Status fields, MH folders keep a separate labels
file called .mh_sequences, and Maildir folders put the labels in the
name of the file.
Keeping the labels right is quite complicated. The `[X-]Status' header
lines are only immediately updated with Mbox messages which will cause
them to be written. Those lines are ignored for MH and Maildir, however
updated when a new version of such a message has to be written to
file.
The reason behind the MH/Maildir way of storing labels is pure
performance: labels are often needed. Opening each message to see
how the labels are set is cheap for Mbox, which has to read the whole
folder on opening anyway, but terribly expensive for directory
origanized folders (as MH and Maildir) which need to take every
single message from a separate file.
Often used labels:
draft to be transmitted
trashed to be deleted
flagged selected
current last used
replied a response message was constructed
seen handled by the user
old existence of message seen by user in the previous opening
of the folder.
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=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.
