    What happens when you use the Mail Scanner after the email is processed? Is it left in the email box (how does it keep from slowing down). Or, is there a way to indicate where error emails go, or where they go (folder) when successfully processed?

      Currently, every e-mail is deleted after processing. This is also true for messages that are not processed but found in inbox (for example if filter cannot be applied to message). This is done because when using POP3 mail server, there is no way to mark message as read. Because of that, you should not use mailbox that is being scanned by Babeldoc scanner for any other purpose.

      IMAP servers support many advanced features that could be used by MailboxScanner instead of message deletion: moving to other mail folders, setting message status, etc. However, these fetures haven't been implemented yet.

      What happens if there is an error parsing the message? What happens to the message?
