NAME

Email::Folder::IMAP - Email::Folder Access to IMAP Folders

SYNOPSIS

  use Email::Folder;
  use Email::FolderType::Net;
  
  my $folder = Email::Folder->new('imap://example.com'); # read INBOX
  
  print $_->header('Subject') for $folder->messages;

DESCRIPTION

This software adds IMAP functionality to Email::Folder. Its interface is identical to the other Email::Folder::Reader subclasses.

Parameters

username and password parameters may be sent to new(). If used, they override any user info passed in the connection URI.

Folder Specification

Folders are specified using a simplified form of the IMAP URL Scheme detailed in RFC 2192. Not all of that specification applies. Here are a few examples.

Selecting the INBOX.

  imap://foo.com

Selecting the INBOX using URI based authentication. Remember that the username and password parameters passed to new() will override anything set in the URI.

  imap://user:pass@foo.com

Selecting the p5p list.

  imap://foo.com/perl/perl5-porters
