Wow that sounds interesting!

Hm, doesn't really work for me:

gregoa at belanna:/tmp$ perl mbtest.pl test
Entering test; type is mbox
Descending into inbox
Entering test/inbox; type is mbox
Descending into 4
Entering test/inbox/4; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/4
Descending into 3
Entering test/inbox/3; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/3
Descending into new
Entering test/inbox/new; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/new
Descending into 2
Entering test/inbox/2; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/2
Descending into 5
Entering test/inbox/5; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/5
Leaving test/inbox
Leaving test

gregoa at belanna:/tmp$ cp test/inbox/2 test/inbox/1

gregoa at belanna:/tmp$ perl mbtest.pl test
Entering test; type is mbox
Descending into inbox
Entering test/inbox; type is mbox
Descending into 1
Entering test/inbox/1; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/1
Descending into 4
Entering test/inbox/4; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/4
Descending into 3
Entering test/inbox/3; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/3
Descending into new
Entering test/inbox/new; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/new
Descending into 2
Entering test/inbox/2; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/2
Descending into 5
Entering test/inbox/5; type is mbox
Leaving test/inbox/5
Leaving test/inbox
Leaving test

If I change
my $folder = $mgr->open(shift);
to
my $folder = $mgr->open(shift, type => 'mh');
in mbtest.pl I get:

gregoa at belanna:/tmp$ rm test/inbox/1

gregoa at belanna:/tmp$ perl mbtest.pl test
Entering test; type is mh
Descending into inbox
Entering test/inbox; type is mh
Descending into new
Entering test/inbox/new; type is mh
Leaving test/inbox/new
Leaving test/inbox
Leaving test

(The same if I copy 2 to 1.)

Cheers,
gregor
