Was torn between using this and the PEP Email::* modules usually recommended for mail projects, but then I read the hilarious Moonpig slides (especially slides 24 and 26) and decided to go with this set of modules.

The package itself is very capable and does pretty much anything you throw at it. That said, the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. Too much emphasis is placed on the internal details of how it works as opposed to simply giving a "black box" view of how to accomplish your goal. For example, a clear way of creating a POP3 mailbox accessor isn't provided until several pages down in the documentation on the POP3 module. It should be, IMO, at the very top of it.

As a previous reviewer said, this does it all. It's not the easiest module to get started with, but once you've followed a few examples, it becomes natural.
The documentation is excellent, as is the support and response to bugs.

I usually do web apps, but a client threw a .dbx file at me that needed some manipulation.

Did it on windows and compiled the app with PAR. Worked flawlessly.

Mail::Box is a heavy distribution, but it does it all.
I think that I would go as far as saying it is over engineered in places, but email is a tough nut to crack.
My only grudge is that sometimes the complexity of it all requires you to do lots and lots of doc/code diving to figure out what to actually do.
