How to build a local IMAP server
09-09-2008 01:00 AM
The usual practice of configuring your email client to retrieve email from your ISP's servers works well, but not for all situations. Suppose you add a laptop as a compliment to your desktop machine, or you'd occasionally like to use your spouse's computer to read your email -- you can run into problems trying to keep all of your email clients in sync. You can use IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) instead of POP3 (Post Office Protocol), but then you need to store all of your email on your ISP's servers indefinitely, which has its own drawbacks. Here's a way you can set up a single machine on your own network to fetch and store your email and serve it to any number of email clients.

Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress(3pm)

NAME

       Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress - email address object

DESCRIPTION

       Represents one email address as returned in an ENVELOPE part of the FETCH command.

       When used in string context, this object magically translates to "Full Name <email@address.com>".

METHODS

       name
	   Returns the full name, if any

       at_domain_list
	   Returns the "at_domain_list" part (WTF is that?)

       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>".
