💌 Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress — email address object

okay bestie, welcome to Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress, straight out of the Net::I...Address(3pm) manual in the User Contributed Perl Documentation. it's one little object that holds one little email address, and it eats, sleeps and breathes IMAP. let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress — it's an email address object, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what is this thing? it represents one email address, exactly as the server hands it back to you inside an ENVELOPE part of the FETCH command. that's the whole vibe. one address, one object. 💅

and here's the iconic part: when you use this object in string context, it magically translates itself into:

Full Name <email@address.com>

like, the object just knows. main character energy, no cap. 👑

🎀 METHODS 🎀

⭐ new — the constructor 💅

Creates a new object from the given array.

okay so the rest of these are the bits that live inside the object. here's the full roster, bestie:
  • name — Returns the full name, if any.
  • at_domain_list — Returns the at_domain_list part (WTF is that?). yeah, the docs genuinely say that, i'm not even kidding 😭
  • mailbox — Returns the mailbox name (i.e. the 'email' part in the example above).
  • host — Returns the host name (i.e. the 'address.com' part).
  • email — Returns the full email address: "$self-"{mailbox} . '@' . $self->{host}>.
  • as_string — Used by stringification. It returns the full name and email address as in Full Name <email@address.com>.
