Getting both sender's name and e-mail adress

Question

How can I extract information about both the sender's name and e-mail adress? If I, for example, have an email containing the tag "From: John Doe <[email protected]>" and I use the getFrom() method in MimeMessage, I only get the first part (the name). If i try the getSender() method I get null as a result. And if i use getReplyTo() I also get only the name and not the email address. How do I get the email adress too?

Answer 1

Retrieve and assign the From address to an Address[] object, typecast it to InternetAddress and use the getAddress() - (for email address) or getPersonal() - (for Name) methods on it
Address[] a;
a = message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.FROM);
for(int i = 0; i < a.lenght; i++)
String name = ((InternetAddress)a).getPersonal();
String email = ((InternetAddress)a[i]).getAddress();
