IM::LocalMbox(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

IM::LocalMbox — local mailbox managing, bestie. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's how you summon it:

use IM::LocalMbox;

$num_msgs = &local_get_msg(source_mailbox, destination_folder, access_mode);

that's the whole vibe. one function, three args, and it hands you back $num_msgs like a little gift 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so IM::LocalMbox is the module that handles your local mailbox. it's giving very "i know where all your mail lives" energy 💅

it's got range, fr fr — these formats are all supported:

• MH folder 🌈
• MMDF file 🌈
• mbox 🌈
• Maildir 🌈

and this module? it's provided by IM (Internet Message). iconic lineage honestly 👑

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

here's a real one, look at her go:

$mbox = 'local:/var/mail/motonori';
$folder = '+inbox'
$num_msgs = &local_get_msg($mbox, $folder, 'get');

so $mbox is pointing at that local mail file, $folder is that +inbox folder (no semicolon on that line, that's how the original rolls it, i'm not touching it 🙈), and then &local_get_msg does the thing with access mode 'get'. slay. 💖

not me noticing there's no ; after the $folder line — keeping it exactly as-is because the rule is facts stay, vibe changes ✨
