USAGE

A mail account contains folders that are arranged in a tree-like hierarchy. mail::ACCOUNT::getParentFolder finds a folder's parent folder (folder is obtained from a previous mail::ACCOUNT::getSubFolders or a mail::ACCOUNT::getTopLevelFolders(3x) call).

RETURN CODES AND CALLBACKS

This method returns true if it succeeds, or false if it fails. If the method fails, use mail::ACCOUNT::getErrmsg() to read a brief description of the error.

If successful, folderList will contain a single pointer to a mail::folder object that will refer to folder's parent folder.

See mail::ACCOUNT::getTopLevelFolders(3x) for additional notes and instructions on handling folder lists.
