Description

Here is a list of proposed changes:

• remove NamedMailbox and add a name property to Mailbox
• addresses should be Serializable
• add hashCode() and equals()
• pull Mailbox.getAddressString() up to Address and rename it in getDisplayString()
• add Mailbox.getAddress() to retrieve the address as localPart@domain
• add a single argument constructor to Mailbox that parses an address
• add Address.getEncodedString() that returns the address in encoded form

The latter two changes are related to MIME4J-100.
