/**
 * This class models Folder <em>existence</em> events. FolderEvents are
 * delivered to FolderListeners registered on the affected Folder as
 * well as the containing Store. <p>
 *
 * Service providers vary widely in their ability to notify clients of
 * these events.  At a minimum, service providers must notify listeners
 * registered on the same Store or Folder object on which the operation
 * occurs.  Service providers may also notify listeners when changes
 * are made through operations on other objects in the same virtual
 * machine, or by other clients in the same or other hosts.  Such
 * notifications are not required and are typically not supported
 * by mail protocols (including IMAP).
