Hey All,

I am writing a POP3 control and I want to know how I can find out if it is a
new message or a message that I have already read. Can that be done. Is
there a flag I can check and set on the server to let me know? I also want
to know if it is possible to create folder schema in the POP3 mailboxes?

Thanks,

Sean
 
Each message has a unique id. you store the unique id on reading the mail
somewhere and then check if it's already been read by the unique id.
 
Hi,

POP3 supports none of these features, you IMAP if you need flags(server
based), and folder management possibilities.
 
Some POP3 servers do support the "LAST" command, which does what he wants.
Not many support it though, and I would do as Simon says, and use the
header id.
