LocalDelivery vs. ToSenderFolder vs. ToRecipientFolder

[Jerry Malcolm <te...@malcolms.com>]

There are three different mailets that seem to do basically the same 
thing which is put mail in a folder.  The folder is different and 
consume is different.  ToRecipientFolder and LocalDelivery build a mail 
dispatcher, but ToSenderFolder does not.  And all of them hardcode the 
folder or get it from an init parm.

I have rules engine mailet that determines the target folder for an 
email and sets a header with the folder name.  In my old implementation 
I cloned one of the folder mailets (can't remember which one) and stored 
the email based on the target folder header.   I'm now getting periodic 
errors that folders can't be accessed due to being read-only.  I know 
the right solution is to dump what I have and update to use the current 
code.  However, I have three implementation mailets to choose from.  Why 
do some use mailDispatcher?  Does inbound require a dispatcher and 
outbound doesn't?  And more importantly, if I use the mail dispatcher 
impl, am I going to hit problems if I change the folder per each email 
based on the target folder header?  Or should I just recreate the mail 
dispatcher instance on each email?

Thx
