AddressDelimiter Property


Specifies the delimiter of addresses which will be used when returning values of FromAddr, ToAddr, PureCCAddr, ToFriendlyName and other similar properties. The default value is ", " (comma followed by space).

This property is useful if you have "," chars in the values of e-mail addresses or display names and you need to split the entire string to get individual addresses. You can assign it to a somewhat like "{|}" (which is highly unlikely to appear in addresses) and split by this value.

Note that Message.AddressDelimiter property acts a bit differently, it does not affect Message.FromAddr, Message.ToAddr and Message.CCAddr properties. This is because AddressDelimiter affects only read-only properties and properties like ToAddr are read-only for Envelope object but read/write for Message object.


Value Type: String
Parameters: None 

Usage example:

' This sample displays To recipients (separately for each recipient) for the last message in Inbox
Dim Mailer, Envelopes, Envelope, ToRecipients, SingleTo
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Mailer.EnableLogging = True
Mailer.LogFilePath = "C:\Temp\imap4_log.txt"
Mailer.ClearLog
Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
If Mailer.Connect("mailserver.com", 143, "MyName", "MyPassword") Then
  If Mailer.SelectMailbox("Inbox") Then
    Set Envelopes = Mailer.RetrieveEnvelopes(Mailer.MessageCount, Mailer.MessageCount, False)
    If Not Envelopes Is Nothing Then
      For Each Envelope In Envelopes
        Envelope.AddressDelimiter = "{|}"
        ToRecipients = Split(Envelope.ToAddr, "{|}")
        For Each SingleTo In ToRecipients
          MsgBox SingleTo
        Next
      Next
    End If
  End if
  Mailer.Disconnect
Else
  MsgBox Mailer.ErrDesc
End If
