Mail::Box::Dir::Message - one message in a directory organized folder
Mail::Box::Dir::Message is a Mail::Box::Message is a Mail::Message is a Mail::Reporter Mail::Box::Dir::Message is extended by Mail::Box::MH::Message Mail::Box::Maildir::Message
my $folder = new Mail::Box::MH ... my $message = $folder->message(10);
A Mail::Box::Dir::Message is a base class for one message in a directory organized folder; each message is stored in a separate file. There are no objects of type Mail::Box::Dir::Message, only extensions are allowed to be created.
Mail::Box::Dir::Message
At the moment, three of these extended message types are implemented:
Mail::Box::MH::Message
which represents one message in a Mail::Box::MH folder. MH folders are very, very simple.... and hence not sophisticated nor fast.
Mail::Box::Maildir::Message
which represents one message in a Mail::Box::Maildir folder. Flags are kept in the message's filename. It is stateless, so you will never loose a message.
Mail::Box::Netzwert::Message
which represents one message in a Mail::Box::Netzwert folder. As advantage, it stores pre-parsed information in the message file. As disadvantage: the code is not GPLed (yet).

Create the message in the specified file. If the message already has a filename and is not modified, then a move is tried. Otherwise the message is printed to the file. If the $filename already exists for this message, nothing is done. In any case, the new $filename is set as well.

For some reason (the previous message have told you already) it was not possible to create a message parser for the specified filename.

When a modified or new message is written to disk, it is first written to a temporary file in the folder directory. For some reason, it is impossible to create this file.
When a modified or new message is written to disk, it is first written to a temporary file in the folder directory. Then, the new file is moved to replace the existing file. Apparently, the latter fails.
The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to someone else without modification; you must specified it's new destination. If you have the urge not to specify any destination, you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the content, use forward().
If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.
The message send() mechanism had not enough information to automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this message. Specify a mailer explicitly using the via options.

You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of folder, but you need to do that in two steps. First, create a normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder. During this Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d into the right message type, adding storage information and the like.
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.
For some reason, the header of the message could be read, but the body cannot. Probably the file has disappeared or the permissions were changed during the progress of the program.
Mail::Box tries to be lazy with respect to parsing messages. When a directory organized folder is opened, only the filenames of messages are collected. At first use, the messages are read from their file. Apperently, a message is used for the first time here, but has disappeared or is unreadible for some other reason.
