I’m reading emails from pop3 server with zend mail component.

What I want is to know who is sent this email and when I try $message->from I see “FirstName LastName” without senders email.

I do print_r($message->getHeaders()) and do not see sender’s email in any header from this email.

I thought that senders email is required and always must be set. Anything wrong here?

Is that possible to have email with “from” header with only First/Last name without email?

    As per my comment:

    if you print_r() a valid from header and the address is in angle brackets, you may only see it by viewing the HTML source, because the angle brackets and email address may be treated as an (albeit unrecognised) HTML tag, by the browser.

    However, if anyone encounters this issue in the future (and the email address does not show in the HTML source), it is worth bearing in mind that the sender could have sent an email without a From: address, even though that is technically invalid.
