This module communicates with an IMAP server. Each IMAP server command is mapped
|
|
to a method of this object. Although other IMAP modules exist on CPAN, this has
|
|
several advantages over other modules:
|
|
- It parses the more complex IMAP structures like envelopes and body structures
|
|
into nice Perl data structures.
|
|
- It correctly supports atoms, quoted strings and literals at any point. Some
|
|
parsers in other modules aren't fully IMAP compatiable and may break at odd
|
|
times with certain messages on some servers.
|
|
- It allows large return values (eg. attachments on a message) to be read
|
|
directly into a file, rather than into memory.
|
|
- It includes some helper functions to find the actual text/plain or text/html
|
|
part of a message out of a complex MIME structure. It also can find a list of
|
|
attachements, and CID links for HTML messages with attached images.
|
|
- It supports decoding of MIME headers to Perl utf-8 strings automatically, so
|
|
you don't have to deal with MIME encoded headers (enabled optionally).
|
|
|
|
While the IMAP protocol does allow for asynchronous running of commands, this
|
|
module is designed to be used in a synchronous manner. That is, you issue a
|
|
command by calling a method, and the command will block until the appropriate
|
|
response is returned. The method will then return the parsed results from the
|
|
given command.
