[laten we het maar in het Engels houden, ter documentatie]
The takemail script was contributed a long time ago (somewhere in 2002),
so I do not know the ins and outs of it. It seems (from the name of
the parameters) that the author used MailDir.
It probably depends on how you are calling it. Can you give me an
example?
You can easily achieve the same thing in Mail::Box directly, without
script. That should work, because there are regression tests to
protect that functionality.
# untested
my $mgr = Mail::Box::Manager->new(...);
my $in = $mgr->open($infn);
my $out = $mgr->open($outfn, access => 'w', create => 1);
foreach my $msg ($in->messages)
{ if(...some condition...)
{ $mgr->copyMessage($msg, $out);
}
}
