# Class MboxConfig

            MboxConfig

Class representing mbox configuration.

Mbox configuration is used for backing up mbox email files.

The following restrictions exist on data in this class:

- The collect mode must be one of the values in VALID_COLLECT_MODES.
- The compress mode must be one of the values in VALID_COMPRESS_MODES.
- The `mboxFiles` list must be a list of `MboxFile` objects
- The `mboxDirs` list must be a list of `MboxDir` objects

For the `mboxFiles` and `mboxDirs` lists, validation is accomplished through the util.ObjectTypeList list implementation that overrides common list methods and transparently ensures that each element is of the proper type.

Unlike collect configuration, no global exclusions are allowed on this level. We only allow relative exclusions at the mbox directory level. Also, there is no configured ignore file. This is because mbox directory backups are not recursive.

Note: Lists within this class are "unordered" for equality comparisons.

Method Details | [hide private]

### __init__(self, collectMode=None, compressMode=None, mboxFiles=None, mboxDirs=None) (Constructor) | source code
Constructor for the `MboxConfig` class. Parameters: `collectMode` - Default collect mode. `compressMode` - Default compress mode. `mboxFiles` - List of mbox files to back up `mboxDirs` - List of mbox directories to back up Raises: `ValueError` - If one of the values is invalid. Overrides: object.__init__

### __repr__(self) (Representation operator) | source code
Official string representation for class instance. Overrides: object.__repr__

### __str__(self) (Informal representation operator) | source code
Informal string representation for class instance. Overrides: object.__str__

### __cmp__(self, other) (Comparison operator) | source code
Definition of equals operator for this class. Lists within this class are "unordered" for equality comparisons. Parameters: `other` - Other object to compare to. Returns: -1/0/1 depending on whether self is `<`, `=` or `>` other.

### _setCollectMode(self, value) | source code
Property target used to set the collect mode. If not `None`, the mode must be one of the values in VALID_COLLECT_MODES. Raises: `ValueError` - If the value is not valid.

### _setCompressMode(self, value) | source code
Property target used to set the compress mode. If not `None`, the mode must be one of the values in VALID_COMPRESS_MODES. Raises: `ValueError` - If the value is not valid.

### _setMboxFiles(self, value) | source code
Property target used to set the mboxFiles list. Either the value must be `None` or each element must be an `MboxFile`. Raises: `ValueError` - If the value is not an `MboxFile`

### _setMboxDirs(self, value) | source code
Property target used to set the mboxDirs list. Either the value must be `None` or each element must be an `MboxDir`. Raises: `ValueError` - If the value is not an `MboxDir`
