<h2>USAGE</h2>
<p>This function creates a new <span class="structname">mail::folder</span> object that refers to the
same mail folder, in every possible way. This is usually used
by some callback methods that receive pointers to
<span class="structname">mail::folder</span>s, and wish to
preserve them for the main application (<span class="structname">mail::folder</span>s received by callback
methods are usually destroyed as soon as the callback method
terminates).</p>

<h2>RETURN CODES AND CALLBACKS</h2>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p><span class="structname">mail::folder</span>s are linked
to their corresponding <span class="structname">mail::account</span>s. A <span class="structname">mail::folder</span> created by one
<span class="structname">mail::account</span> may not be
used with a different <span class="structname">mail::folder</span>. All <span class="structname">mail::folder</span>s created by a <span class="structname">mail::account</span> are invalidated when this
<span class="structname">mail::account</span> object is
destroyed. Note that the <span class="structname">mail::folder</span> objects are not
automatically destroyed; the application is still
responsible for destroying any remaining <span class="structname">mail::folder</span>s, after their a
<span class="structname">mail::account</span> is
destroyed.</p>
