This Perl module attempts to provide a simplified access to standard UNIX-mailboxes (mboxes.) It offers only a subset of methods to get 'straight to the point'. More sophisticated things can still be done by invoking any method from MIME::Tools on the appropriate return values. . Mail::MboxParser has not been derived from Mail::Box and thus isn't acquainted with it in any way. It, however, incorporates some invaluable hints by the author of Mail::Box, Mark Overmeer.
