When the labels were changed, that may effect the C<Status> and/or
C<X-Status> header lines of mbox messages.  Read about the relation
between these fields and the labels in the DETAILS chapter.

The method will carefully only affect the result of L<modified()|Mail::Message/"Flags"> when
there is a real change of flags, so not for each call to L<label()|Mail::Message/"Flags">.

=back

$obj-E<gt>B<statusToLabels>

=over 4

Update the labels according the status lines in the header.  See the
description in the DETAILS chapter.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

I<Error:> Cannot include forward source as $include.

Unknown alternative for the L<forward(include)|Mail::Message::Construct::Forward/"Constructing a message">.  Valid choices are
C<NO>, C<INLINE>, and C<ATTACH>.

I<Error:> Cannot include reply source as $include.

Unknown alternative for the C<include> option of L<reply()|Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/"Constructing a message">.  Valid
choices are C<NO>, C<INLINE>, and C<ATTACH>.

I<Error:> No address to create forwarded to.

If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.

I<Error:> No default mailer found to send message.

The message L<send()|Mail::Message/"The Message"> mechanism had not enough information to automatically
find a mail transfer agent to sent this message.  Specify a mailer
explicitly using the C<via> options.

I<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.

I<Error:> Unable to read delayed body.


I<Error:> no rebuild rule $name defined.



=head1 DETAILS


=head2 Labels


=head3 Status and X-Status fields

Mbox folders have no special means of storing information about messages
(except the message separator line), and therefore have to revert to
adding fields to the message header when something special comes up.

Most applications which can handle mbox folders support the C<Status> and
C<X-Status> field convensions which are implemented by L<Mail::Box::Mbox|Mail::Box::Mbox>.
The following encoding is used:

 Flag   Field       Label
 R      Status   => seen    (Read)
 O      Status   => old     (not recent)
 A      X-Status => replied (Answered)
 F      X-Status => flagged

There is no special flag for C<deleted>, which most other folders support:
messages flagged to be deleted will never be written to a folder file when
it is closed.
