Gee, never thought about that yet. The interface is insofar different as
MboxParser is strictly read-only. Thus I do not have to care for a lot
of things (flocking) and can concentrate on some others...more to it, it is
really just Berkeley-Mbox format. No maildir or whatsoever. Before considering
maintainance of Mail::Folder I would have to look a little into the source
(just to make sure I am not too dumb to maintain it;-). Strict reading
of mailboxes is similar in M::F and M::MP but the MIME-handling is very
different (which is why I wrote it).
Oh, and you should really have at least a look into Mail::Box. It's
vast, grand, comprehensive etc...it supersedes practically any
Mail-Module including any of the MIME-modules. Trade-off: You have to
dig through documentation for about 70 (!) classes even though Mark
Overmeer is working on a more compact documentation.
I think with a little bit of tweaking, Mail::Box can actually write your
mails for you. ;-)
