MessageFrom Property

The address of the author of the message.

Syntax

 imap.getMessageFrom([callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getMessageFrom([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setMessageFrom([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property normally has the same value as MessageSender.

There are cases when a message may have more than one From address. If this is the case, the addresses are provided in the MessageFrom property separated by commas.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
