#include <libmail/sync.H>

## USAGE

This function is the mail::ACCOUNT equivalent of mail::account::folderFromString(3x). See the description of this function for more information.

## RETURN CODES AND CALLBACKS

This function returns a NULL pointer if it cannot allocate memory for the new mail::folder object.

### Note

mail::folders are linked to their corresponding mail::accounts. A mail::folder created by one mail::account may not be used with a different mail::folder. All mail::folders created by a mail::account are invalidated when this mail::account object is destroyed. Note that the mail::folder objects are not automatically destroyed; the application is still responsible for destroying any remaining mail::folders, after their a mail::account is destroyed.
