Message.RecipientType (Jakarta Mail API documentation)

java.lang.Object
- jakarta.mail.Message.RecipientType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

MimeMessage.RecipientType

Enclosing class:

Message
```
public static class Message.RecipientType
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
This inner class defines the types of recipients allowed by the Message class. The currently defined types are TO, CC and BCC. Note that this class only has a protected constructor, thereby restricting new Recipient types to either this class or subclasses. This effectively implements an enumeration of the allowed Recipient types. The following code sample shows how to use this class to obtain the "TO" recipients from a message.
```
 Message msg = folder.getMessages(1);
 Address[] a = m.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO);

 
```

protected RecipientType(java.lang.String type)
```
    Constructor for use by subclasses.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the recipient type
- Method Detail
  - readResolve
```
protected java.lang.Object readResolve()
                                throws java.io.ObjectStreamException
```
    When deserializing a RecipientType, we need to make sure to return only one of the known static final instances defined in this class. Subclasses must implement their own readResolve method that checks for their known instances before calling this super method.
    
    Returns:
    
    the RecipientType object instance
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.ObjectStreamException - for object stream errors
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
