Although the server is not implemented, parts of this server are already available.

  used to capture "FETCH" related information from a message, and produce server-side FETCH answers.

• Mail::Server::IMAP4::List

  produce LIST responses about existing folders. This works in combination with a Mail::Box::Manage::User object.

• Mail::Server::IMAP4::Search

  the SEARCH request. Not implemented yet... looking for a volunteer.

DIAGNOSTICS¶

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. Cast by notImplemented()
