As it turns out the problem _was_ related to other parts of my code..

Basically the problem was I created a sub that instantiated a
Mail::Box::Manager object, put all message objects in an array, closed
the Mail::Box::Manager object and returned the array.

When accessing the message objects in this array later, their folder
objects were undefined, presumably deleted by Mail::Box::Manager's
destroy method.

If this is the cause I can see why it makes sense, though I would prefer
if I were able to do this; I don't like globals, nor supersubs.

Cheers,
Tim
