/**
* Folder is an abstract class that represents a folder for mail
* messages. Subclasses implement protocol specific Folders.
*
* Folders can contain Messages, other Folders or both, thus providing
* a tree-like hierarchy rooted at the Store's default folder. (Note
* that some Folder implementations may not allow both Messages and
* other Folders in the same Folder).
*
* The interpretation of folder names is implementation dependent.
* The different levels of hierarchy in a folder's full name
* are separated from each other by the hierarchy delimiter
* character.
*
* The case-insensitive full folder name (that is, the full name
* relative to the default folder for a Store) INBOX
* is reserved to mean the "primary folder for this user on this
* server". Not all Stores will provide an INBOX folder, and not
* all users will have an INBOX folder at all times. The name
* INBOX is reserved to refer to this folder,
* when it exists, in Stores that provide it.
*
* A Folder object obtained from a Store need not actually exist
* in the backend store. The exists method tests whether
* the folder exists or not. The create method
* creates a Folder.
*
* A Folder is initially in the closed state. Certain methods are valid
* in this state; the documentation for those methods note this. A
* Folder is opened by calling its 'open' method. All Folder methods,
* except open, delete and
* renameTo, are valid in this state.
*
* The only way to get a Folder is by invoking the
* getFolder method on Store, Folder, or Session, or by invoking
* the list or listSubscribed methods
* on Folder. Folder objects returned by the above methods are not
* cached by the Store. Thus, invoking the getFolder method
* with the same folder name multiple times will return distinct Folder
* objects. Likewise for the list and listSubscribed
* methods.
*
* The Message objects within the Folder are cached by the Folder.
* Thus, invoking getMessage(msgno) on the same message number
* multiple times will return the same Message object, until an
* expunge is done on this Folder.
*
* Message objects from a Folder are only valid while a Folder is open
* and should not be accessed after the Folder is closed, even if the
* Folder is subsequently reopened. Instead, new Message objects must
* be fetched from the Folder after the Folder is reopened.
*
* Note that a Message's message number can change within a
* session if the containing Folder is expunged using the expunge
* method. Clients that use message numbers as references to messages
* should be aware of this and should be prepared to deal with
* situation (probably by flushing out existing message number references
* and reloading them). Because of this complexity, it is better for
* clients to use Message objects as references to messages, rather than
* message numbers. Expunged Message objects still have to be
* pruned, but other Message objects in that folder are not affected by the
* expunge.

* in any manner. The delete() method returns true. And the
* exists() method on this folder will return true indicating that
* this folder still exists.
* An appropriate FolderEvent is generated by the Store and this folder.
*
* - Any messages within the folder are removed. Subfolders are
* not removed. The folder itself changes its type from
* HOLDS_FOLDERS | HOLDS_MESSAGES to HOLDS_FOLDERS. Thus new
* messages cannot be added to this folder, but new subfolders can
* be created underneath. The delete() method returns true indicating
