It aims to provide a simple and clean API, while employing a rigorous parser for IMAP responses in order to create Perl data structures from them. The code is simple, clean and extensible. It started as an effort to improve L but then I realized that I needed to change a lot of code and API so I started it as a fresh module. Still, the design is influenced by Net::IMAP::Simple and I even stole a few lines of code from it ;-) (very few, honestly). This software was developed for creating a web-based email (IMAP) client: www.xuheki.com. Xhueki uses Net::IMAP::Client. =head1 API REFERENCE Unless otherwise specified, if a method fails it returns I and you can inspect the error by calling $imap->last_error. For a successful call most methods will return a meaningful value but definitely not I. =head2 new(%args) # constructor my $imap = Net::IMAP::Client->new(%args); Pass to the constructor a hash of arguments that can contain: =over =item - B (STRING) Host name or IP of the IMAP server. =item - B (STRING) User ID (I) =item - B (STRING) Password =item - B (BOOL, optional, default FALSE) Pass a true value if you want to use IO::Socket::SSL =item - B (BOOL, optional, default TRUE) Pass a false value if you do not want to use SSL CA to verify server only need when you set ssl to true =item - B (STRING, optional) Pass a file path which used as CA file to verify server at least one of ssl_ca_file and ssl_ca_path is needed for ssl verify server =item -B (STRING, optional) Pass a dir which will be used as CA file search dir, found CA file will be used to verify server On linux, by default is '/etc/ssl/certs/' at least one of ssl_ca_file and ssl_ca_path is needed for ssl verify server =item - B (HASHREF, optional) Optional arguments to be passed to the L object. =item - B (BOOL, optional, default TRUE) Whether to use UID command (see RFC3501). Recommended. =item - B (IO::Handle, optional) If you already have a socket connected to the IMAP server, you can pass it here. =back The B and B only need when you set B to TRUE. If you havn't apply an B and B, on linux, the B will use the value '/etc/ssl/certs/', on other platform B will be disabled. The constructor doesn't login to the IMAP server -- you need to call $imap->login for that. =head2 last_error Returns the last error from the IMAP server. =head2 login($user, $pass) Login to the IMAP server. You can pass $user and $pass here if you wish; if not passed, the values used in constructor will be used. Returns I if login failed. =head2 logout / quit Send EXPUNGE and LOGOUT then close connection. C is an alias for C. =head2 noop "Do nothing" method that calls the IMAP "NOOP" command. It returns a true value upon success, I otherwise. This method fetches any notifications that the server might have for us and you can get them by calling $imap->notifications. See the L method. =head2 capability() / capability(qr/^SOMETHING/) With no arguments, returns an array of all capabilities advertised by the server. If you're interested in a certain capability you can pass a RegExp. E.g. to check if this server knows 'SORT', you can do this: if ($imap->capability(/^sort$/i)) { # speaks it } This data is cached, the server will be only hit once. =head2 select($folder) Selects the current IMAP folder. On success this method also records some information about the selected folder in a hash stored in $self->{FOLDERS}{$folder}. You might want to use Data::Dumper to find out exactly what, but at the time of this writing this is: =over =item - B Total number of messages in this folder =item - B Flags available for this folder (as array ref) =item - B Total number of recent messages in this folder =item - B Various other flags here, such as PERMANENTFLAGS of UIDVALIDITY. You might want to take a look at RFC3501 at this point. :-p =back This method is basically stolen from Net::IMAP::Simple. =head2 examine($folder) Selects the current IMAP folder in read-only (EXAMINE) mode. Otherwise identical to select. =head2 status($folder), status(\@folders) Returns the status of the given folder(s). If passed an array ref, the return value is a hash ref mapping folder name to folder status (which are hash references in turn). If passed a single folder name, it returns the status of that folder only. my $inbox = $imap->status('INBOX'); print $inbox->{UNSEEN}, $inbox->{MESSAGES}; print Data::Dumper::Dumper($inbox); my $all = $imap->status($imap->folders); while (my ($name, $status) = each %$all) { print "$name : $status->{MESSAGES}/$status->{UNSEEN}\n"; } This method is designed to be very fast when passed multiple folders. It's I faster to call: $imap->status(\@folders); than: $imap->status($_) foreach (@folders); because it sends all the STATUS requests to the IMAP server before it starts receiving the answers. In my tests with my remote IMAP server, for 40 folders this method takes 0.6 seconds, compared to 6+ seconds when called individually for each folder alone. =head2 separator Returns the folder hierarchy separator. This is provided as a result of the following IMAP command: FETCH "" "*" I don't know of any way to change this value on a server so I have to assume it's a constant. Therefore, this method caches the result and it won't hit the server a second time on subsequent calls. =head2 folders Returns a list of all folders available on the server. In scalar context it returns a reference to an array, i.e.: my @a = $imap->folders; my $b = $imap->folders; # now @a == @$b; =head2 folders_more Returns an hash reference containing more information about folders. It maps folder name to an hash ref containing the following: - flags -- folder flags (array ref; i.e. [ '\\HasChildren' ]) - sep -- one character containing folder hierarchy separator - name -- folder name (same as the key -- thus redundant) =head2 namespace Returns an hash reference containing the namespaces for this server (see RFC 2342). Since the RFC defines 3 possible types of namespaces, the hash contains the following keys: - `personal' -- the personal namespace - `other' -- "other users" namespace - `shared' -- shared namespace Each one can be I if the server returned "NIL", or an array reference. If an array reference, each element is in the form: { sep => '.', prefix => 'INBOX.' } (I is the separator for this hierarchy, and I is the prefix). =head2 seq_to_uid(@sequence_ids) I recommend usage of UID-s only (see L) but this isn't always possible. Even when C is on, the server will sometimes return notifications that only contain message sequence numbers. To convert these to UID-s you can use this method. On success it returns an hash reference which maps sequence numbers to message UID-s. Of course, on failure it returns I. =head2 search($criteria, $sort, $charset) Executes the "SEARCH" or "SORT" IMAP commands (depending on wether $sort is I) and returns the results as an array reference containing message ID-s. Note that if you use C<$sort> and the IMAP server doesn't have this capability, this method will fail. Use L to investigate. =over =item - B<$criteria> Can be a string, in which case it is passed literally to the IMAP command (which can be "SEARCH" or "SORT"). It can also be an hash reference, in which case keys => values are collected into a string and values are properly quoted, i.e.: { subject => 'foo', from => 'bar' } will translate to: 'SUBJECT "foo" FROM "bar"' which is a valid IMAP SEARCH query. If you want to retrieve all messages (no search criteria) then pass 'ALL' here. =item - B<$sort> Can be a string or an array reference. If it's an array, it will simply be joined with a space, so for instance passing the following is equivalent: 'SUBJECT DATE' [ 'SUBJECT', 'DATE' ] The SORT command in IMAP allows you to prefix a sort criteria with 'REVERSE' which would mean descending sorting; this module will allow you to prefix it with '^', so again, here are some equivalent constructs: 'SUBJECT REVERSE DATE' 'SUBJECT ^DATE' [ 'SUBJECT', 'REVERSE', 'DATE' ] [ 'subject', 'reverse date' ] [ 'SUBJECT', '^DATE' ] It'll also uppercase whatever you passed here. If you omit $sort (or pass I) then this method will use the SEARCH command. Otherwise it uses the SORT command. =item - B<$charset> The IMAP SORT recommendation [2] requires a charset declaration for SORT, but not for SEARCH. Interesting, huh? Our module is a bit more paranoid and it will actually add charset for both SORT and SEARCH. If $charset is omitted (or I) the it will default to "UTF-8", which, supposedly, is supported by all IMAP servers. =back =head2 get_rfc822_body($msg_id) Fetch and return the full RFC822 body of the message. B<$msg_id> can be a scalar but also an array of ID-s. If it's an array, then all bodies of those messages will be fetched and the return value will be a list or an array reference (depending how you call it). Note that the actual data is returned as a reference to a scalar, to speed things up. Examples: my $data = $imap->get_rfc822_body(10); print $$data; # need to dereference it my @more = $imap->get_rfc822_body([ 11, 12, 13 ]); print $$_ foreach @more; or my $more = $imap->get_rfc822_body([ 11, 12, 13 ]); print $$_ foreach @$more; =head2 get_part_body($msg_id, $part_id) Fetches and returns the body of a certain part of the message. Part ID-s look like '1' or '1.1' or '2.3.1' etc. (see RFC3501 [1], "FETCH Command"). =head3 Scalar reference Note that again, this data is returned as a reference to a scalar rather than the scalar itself. This decision was taken purely to save some time passing around potentially large data from Perl subroutines. =head3 Undecoded One other thing to note is that the data is not decoded. One simple way to decode it is use Email::MIME::Encodings, i.e.: use Email::MIME::Encodings; my $summary = $imap->get_summaries(10)->[0]; my $part = $summary->get_subpart('1.1'); my $body = $imap->get_part_body('1.1'); my $cte = $part->transfer_encoding; # Content-Transfer-Encoding $body = Email::MIME::Encodings::decode($cte, $$body); # and now you should have the undecoded (perhaps binary) data. See get_summaries below. =head2 get_parts_bodies($msg_id, \@part_ids) Similar to get_part_body, but this method is capable to retrieve more parts at once. It's of course faster than calling get_part_body for each part alone. Returns an hash reference which maps part ID to part body (the latter is a reference to a scalar containing the actual data). Again, the data is not unencoded. my $parts = $imap->get_parts_bodies(10, [ '1.1', '1.2', '2.1' ]); print ${$parts->{'1.1'}}; =head2 get_summaries($msg, $headers) / get_summaries(\@msgs, $headers) (C<$headers> is optional). Fetches, parses and returns "message summaries". $msg can be an array ref, or a single id. The return value is always an array reference, even if a single message is queried. If $headers is passed, it must be a string containing name(s) of the header fields to fetch (space separated). Example: $imap->get_summaries([1, 2, 3], 'References X-Original-To') The result contains L objects. The best way to understand the result is to actually call this function and use Data::Dumper to see its structure. Following is the output for a pretty complicated message, which contains an HTML part with an embedded image and an attached message. The attached message in turn contains an HTML part and an embedded message. bless( { 'message_id' => '<48A71D17.1000109@foobar.com>', 'date' => 'Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:31:51 +0300', 'to' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => undef, 'mailbox' => 'kwlookup', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'cc' => undef, 'from' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => 'Mihai Bazon', 'mailbox' => 'justme', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'flags' => [ '\\Seen', 'NonJunk', 'foo_bara' ], 'uid' => '11', 'subject' => 'test with message attachment', 'rfc822_size' => '12550', 'in_reply_to' => undef, 'bcc' => undef, 'internaldate' => '16-Aug-2008 21:29:23 +0300', 'reply_to' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => 'Mihai Bazon', 'mailbox' => 'justme', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'sender' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => 'Mihai Bazon', 'mailbox' => 'justme', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'parts' => [ bless( { 'part_id' => '1', 'parts' => [ bless( { 'parameters' => { 'charset' => 'UTF-8' }, 'subtype' => 'html', 'part_id' => '1.1', 'encoded_size' => '365', 'cid' => undef, 'type' => 'text', 'description' => undef, 'transfer_encoding' => '7bit' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ), bless( { 'disposition' => { 'inline' => { 'filename' => 'someimage.png' } }, 'language' => undef, 'encoded_size' => '4168', 'description' => undef, 'transfer_encoding' => 'base64', 'parameters' => { 'name' => 'someimage.png' }, 'subtype' => 'png', 'part_id' => '1.2', 'type' => 'image', 'cid' => '', 'md5' => undef }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ) ], 'multipart_type' => 'related' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ), bless( { 'message_id' => '<48A530CE.3050807@foobar.com>', 'date' => 'Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:31:26 +0300', 'encoded_size' => '6283', 'to' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => undef, 'mailbox' => 'kwlookup', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'subtype' => 'rfc822', 'cc' => undef, 'from' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => 'Mihai Bazon', 'mailbox' => 'justme', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'subject' => 'Test with images', 'in_reply_to' => undef, 'description' => undef, 'transfer_encoding' => '7bit', 'parameters' => { 'name' => 'Attached Message' }, 'bcc' => undef, 'part_id' => '2', 'sender' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => 'Mihai Bazon', 'mailbox' => 'justme', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'reply_to' => [ bless( { 'at_domain_list' => undef, 'name' => 'Mihai Bazon', 'mailbox' => 'justme', 'host' => 'foobar.com' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgAddress' ) ], 'parts' => [ bless( { 'parameters' => { 'charset' => 'UTF-8' }, 'subtype' => 'html', 'part_id' => '2.1', 'encoded_size' => '344', 'cid' => undef, 'type' => 'text', 'description' => undef, 'transfer_encoding' => '7bit' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ), bless( { 'disposition' => { 'inline' => { 'filename' => 'logo.png' } }, 'language' => undef, 'encoded_size' => '4578', 'description' => undef, 'transfer_encoding' => 'base64', 'parameters' => { 'name' => 'logo.png' }, 'subtype' => 'png', 'part_id' => '2.2', 'type' => 'image', 'cid' => '', 'md5' => undef }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ) ], 'cid' => undef, 'type' => 'message', 'multipart_type' => 'related' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ) ], 'multipart_type' => 'mixed' }, 'Net::IMAP::Client::MsgSummary' ); As you can see, the parser retrieves all data, including from the embedded messages. There are many other modules you can use to fetch such information. L and L are great. The only problem is that you have to have fetched already the full (RFC822) body of the message, which is impractical over IMAP. When you want to quickly display a folder summary, the only practical way is to issue a FETCH command and retrieve only those headers that you are interested in (instead of full body). C does exactly that (issues a FETCH (FLAGS INTERNALDATE RFC822.SIZE ENVELOPE BODYSTRUCTURE)). It's acceptably fast even for huge folders. =head2 fetch($msg_id, $attributes) This is a low level interface to FETCH. It calls the imap FETCH command and returns a somewhat parsed hash of the results. C<$msg_id> can be a single message ID or an array of IDs. If a single ID is given, the return value will be a hash reference containing the requested values. If C<$msg_id> is an array, even if it contains a single it, then the return value will be an array of hashes. C<$attributes> is a string of attributes to FETCH, separated with a space, or an array (ref) of attributes. Examples: # retrieve the UID of the most recent message my $last_uid = $imap->fetch('*', 'UID')->{UID}; # fetch the flags of the first message my $flags = $imap->fetch(1, 'FLAGS')->{FLAGS}; # fetch flags and some headers (Subject and From) my $headers = 'BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (Subject From)]'; my $results = $imap->fetch([1, 2, 3], "FLAGS $headers"); foreach my $hash (@$results) { print join(" ", @{$hash->{FLAGS}}), "\n"; print $hash->{$headers}, "\n"; } =head2 notifications() The IMAP server may send various notifications upon execution of commands. They are collected in an array which is returned by this method (returns an array ref in scalar context, or a list otherwise). It clears the notifications queue so on second call it will return an empty array (unless new notifications were collected in the meantime). Each element in this array (notification) is a hash reference containing one or more or the following: - seq : the *sequence number* of the changed message - uid : UID of the changed message (NOT ALWAYS available!) - flags : new flags for this message - deleted : when the \Deleted flag was set for this message - messages : new number of messages in this folder - recent : number of recent messages in this folder - flags : new flags of this folder (seq is missing) - destroyed : when this message was expunged - folder : the name of the selected folder C is always present. C is present when a message was changed some flags (in which case you have C) or was expunged (in which case C is true). When C were changed and the B<\Deleted> flag is present, you also get C true. C is a message sequence number. Pretty dumb, I think it's preferable to work with UID-s, but that's what the IMAP server reports. In some cases the UID I be readily available (i.e. my IMAP server sends notifications in the same body as a response to, say, a FETCH BODY command), but when it's not, you have to rely on seq_to_uid(). B that when C is true, the message has been B; there is no way in this case to retrieve the UID so you have to rely solely on C in order to update your caches. When C is present but no C, it means that the list of available flags for the C has changed. You get C upon an "EXISTS" notification, which usually means "you have new mail". It indicates the total number of messages in the folder, not just "new" messages. I've yet to come up with a good way to measure the number of new/unseen messages, other than calling C. I rarely got C from my IMAP server in my tests; if more clients are simultaneously logged in as the same IMAP user, only one of them will receive "RECENT" notifications; others will have to rely on "EXISTS" to tell when new messages have arrived. Therefore I can only say that "RECENT" is useless and I advise you to ignore it. =head2 append($folder, \$rfc822, $flags, $date) Appends a message to the given C<$folder>. You must pass the full RFC822 body in C<$rfc822>. C<$flags> and C<$date> are optional. If you pass C<$flags>, it must be an array of strings specifying the initial flags of the appended message. If I, the message will be appended with an empty flag set, which amongst other things means that it will be regarded as an C<\Unseen> message. C<$date> specifies the INTERNALDATE of the appended messge. If I it will default to the current date/time. B this functionality is not tested; C<$date> should be in a format understood by IMAP. =head2 get_flags($msg_id) / get_flags(\@msg_ids) Returns the flags of one or more messages. The return value is an array (reference) if one message ID was passed, or a hash reference if an array (of one or more) message ID-s was passed. When an array was passed, the returned hash will map each message UID to an array of flags. =head2 store($msg, $flag) / store(\@msgs, \@flags) Resets FLAGS of the given message(s) to the given flag(s). C<$msg> can be an array of ID-s (or UID-s), or a single (U)ID. C<$flags> can be a single string, or an array reference as well. Note that the folder where these messages reside must have been already selected. Examples: $imap->store(10, '\\Seen'); $imap->store([11, 12], '\\Deleted'); $imap->store(13, [ '\\Seen', '\\Answered' ]); The IMAP specification defines certain reserved flags (they all start with a backslash). For example, a message with the flag C<\Deleted> should be regarded as deleted and will be permanently discarded by an EXPUNGE command. Although, it is possible to "undelete" a message by removing this flag. The following reserved flags are defined by the IMAP spec: \Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Recent The C<\Recent> flag is considered "read-only" -- you cannot add or remove it manually; the server itself will do this as appropriate. =head2 add_flags($msg, $flag) / add_flags(\@msgs, \@flags) Like store() but it doesn't reset all flags -- it just specifies which flags to B to the message. =head2 del_flags($msg, $flag) / del_flags(\@msgs, \@flags) Like store() / add_flags() but it B flags. =head2 delete_message($msg) / delete_message(\@msgs) Stores the \Deleted flag on the given message(s). Equivalent to: $imap->add_flags(\@msgs, '\\Deleted'); =head2 expunge() Permanently removes messages that have the C<\Deleted> flag set from the current folder. =head2 copy($msg, $folder) / copy(\@msg_ids, $folder) Copies message(s) from the selected folder to the given C<$folder>. You can pass a single message ID, or an array of message ID-s. =head2 create_folder($folder) Creates the folder with the given name. =head2 delete_folder($folder) Deletes the folder with the given name. This works a bit different from the IMAP specs. The IMAP specs says that any subfolders should remain intact. This method actually deletes subfolders recursively. Most of the time, this is What You Want. Note that all messages in C<$folder>, as well as in any subfolders, are permanently lost. =head2 get_threads($algorithm, $msg_id) Returns a "threaded view" of the current folder. Both arguments are optional. C<$algorithm> should be I, "REFERENCES" or "SUBJECT". If undefined, "REFERENCES" is assumed. This selects the threading algorithm, as per IMAP THREAD AND SORT extensions specification. I only tested "REFERENCES". C<$msg_id> can be undefined, or a message ID. If it's undefined, then a threaded view of the whole folder will be returned. If you pass a message ID, then this method will return the top-level thread that contains the message. The return value is an array which actually represents threads. Elements of this array are message ID-s, or other arrays (which in turn contain message ID-s or other arrays, etc.). The first element in an array will represent the start of the thread. Subsequent elements are child messages or subthreads. An example should help (FIXME). =head1 TODO =over =item - authentication schemes other than plain text (B) =item - better error handling? =back =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L L, L RFC3501 [1] is a must read if you want to do anything fancier than what this module already supports. =head1 REFERENCES [1] http://ietfreport.isoc.org/rfc/rfc3501.txt [2] http://ietfreport.isoc.org/all-ids/draft-ietf-imapext-sort-20.txt =head1 AUTHOR Mihai Bazon, http://www.xuheki.com/ http://www.dynarchlib.com/ http://www.bazon.net/mishoo/ =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) Mihai Bazon 2008.
