I am trying to move folders to an "old_messages" folder after i have read and stripped the attachments from them but when i do it all of the messages it sends to the "old_messages" folder are blank and from "unknown sender" and the inbox is unchanged I checked around and nobody seems to have had this problem before (p.s. I graduated college a month ago during which i didn't even touch Perl and now i have been working with it for a whole 3 weeks so i apologize if this seems like an obvious fix).

use strict;
use warnings;

# required modules
use Net::IMAP::Simple;
use Email::MIME;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
use Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper;

my $nm = $imap->select('INBOX');
for ( my $i = 1 ; $i <= $nm ; $i++ ) {
    if (!$imap->seen($i) ) {
        next;
    }
    else {
    my $es = Email::MIME->new( join '', @{ $imap->get($i) } );
    
    my $text = $es->body;
    my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($es);
    my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
    
    
    
    my $l = 0;
    foreach $_(@attachments)
    {
              my $url = "";
              
                 
              
        my $fh = IO::File->new();
        open($fh, '>', "$filepath"."$_->{filename}");
        binmode($fh);
        print $fh "$_->{payload}\n";
        $fh->close;
    
    
    }
    
    $imap->put( 'OLD_MESSAGES', $es, "") or warn $imap->errstr;
