DESCRIPTION

METHODS
20   Constructors
21       Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new($user)
22           Create a (temporary) object to handle the LIST requests for a
23           certain user, based upon a set of folders.  The data is kept by
24           Mail::Box::Identity and Mail::Box::Collection objects, which mean
25           that the folders will not be opened to answer these questions.
26
27            -Option   --Default
28             delimiter  '/'
29             folders    <from user>
30             inbox      <from user>
31             user       <undef>
32
33           delimiter => STRING|CODE
34             Either the constant delimiter, or a code reference which will get
35             passed a folder name and should return the delimiter string used
36             in that name.  If that folder name is empty, the default
37             delimiter must be reported.  See delimiter() for an example.
38
39           folders => OBJECT
40             You need to specify either a set of folders explicitly or via the
41             user. Some Mail::Box::Identity OBJECT is needed.
42
43           inbox => BOOLEAN
44             For now, only used to see whether there is an inbox, so a truth
45             value will do.  This may change in the future.  By default, the
46             flag is set if "$user-"inbox> is defined.
47
48           user => OBJECT
49             A Mail::Box::Manage::User OBJECT, representing the user who's
50             folders must get reported.
51
52   Attributes
53       $obj->delimiter( [$foldername] )
54           Returns the delimiter string.  The foldername is only required when
55           a CODE reference was specified at initiation.
56
57           example: setting-up an IMAP4 delimiter
58
59            sub delim($)
60            {   my $path = shift;
61                my ($delim, $root)
62                  = $path =~ m/^(#news\.)/ ? ('.', $1)
63                  = $path =~ m!^/!         ? ('/', '/')
64                  :                          ('/', '');
65
66                wantarray ? ($delim, $root) : $delim;
67            }
68
69            my $list = Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new(delimiter => \&delim, ...);
70            print $list->delimiter('abc/xyz');      # returns a / (slash) and ''
71            print $list->delimiter('#news.feed');   # returns a . (dot)   and $news.
72            print $list->delimiter('');             # returns default delimiter
73
74       $obj->folders()
75           Returns the Mail::Box::Identity of the toplevel folder.
76
77       $obj->inbox()
78           Returns the Mail::Box or filename of the INBOX.
79
80       $obj->user()
81           Returns the Mail::Box::Manage::User object, if defined.
82
83   IMAP Commands
84       $obj->list($base, $pattern)
85           IMAP's LIST command.  The request must be partially decoded, the
86           answer will need to be encoded.
87
88           example: using IMAP list
89
90            my $imap  = Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new(delimiter => \&delim, ...);
91            local $"  = ';';
92
93            my @lines = $imap->list('', '');  # returns the default delimiter
94            print ">@{$lines[0]}<";           #  >(\Noselect);/;<
95
96            my @lines = $imap->list('#news',''); # specific delimiter
97            print ">@{$lines[0]}<";           #  >(\Noselect);.;<
98
99            my @lines = $imap->list('top/x/', '%');
100            print ">@$_<," foreach @lines;    #  >();/;/tmp/x/y<,>(\Marked);/;/tmp/x/z<
