java.lang.Objectjavax.mail.search.SearchTerm
Search criteria are expressed as a tree of search-terms, forming a parse-tree for the search expression.
Search-terms are represented by this class. This is an abstract class; subclasses implement specific match methods.
Search terms are serializable, which allows storing a search term between sessions. Warning: Serialized objects of this class may not be compatible with future JavaMail API releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage.
 Warning:
 Search terms that include references to objects of type
 Message.RecipientType will not be deserialized
 correctly on JDK 1.1 systems.  While these objects will be deserialized
 without throwing any exceptions, the resulting objects violate the
 type-safe enum contract of the Message.RecipientType
 class.  Proper deserialization of these objects depends on support
 for the readReplace method, added in JDK 1.2.
