NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

use Email::Folder;

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.

http://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.

http://user:pass@foo.com

Selecting the p5p list.

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