DIAGNOSTICS
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 "NEVER".
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.
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.
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.
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 "force" option is set
true.
Error: Folder $name not deleted: not writable.
The folder must be opened with write access via new(access),
otherwise removing it will be refused. So, you may have write-
access according to the operating system, but that will not
automatically mean that this "delete" method permits you to. The
reverse remark is valid as well.
Error: Invalid timespan '$timespan' specified.
The string does not follow the strict rules of the time span syntax
which is permitted as parameter.
Warning: Message-id '$msgid' does not contain a domain.
According to the RFCs, message-ids need to contain a unique random
part, then an "@", and then a domain name. This is made to avoid
the creation of two messages with the same id. The warning emerges
when the "@" is missing from the string.
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.
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.
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.
