class Net::IMAP::Address

Net::IMAP::Address represents an electronic mail address, which has been parsed into its component parts by the server. Address objects are returned within Envelope fields.

Group syntax¶ ↑

When the host field is nil, this is a special form of address structure that indicates the [RFC5322] group syntax. If the mailbox name field is also nil, this is an end-of-group marker (semicolon in RFC-822 syntax). If the mailbox name field is non-NIL, this is the start of a group marker, and the mailbox name field holds the group name phrase.
