Mark message as Read

Hi Manuel, thank you in advance.

How do I mark message as Read and how to know that a message is already marked Read.

I tried looking into the header contents to find out if there is a flag for a read message, but cant seem to find it. And is there a function in Mime parser class to mark a message as read?

Thanks

I am not sure if your question makes much sense.

Usually what marks messages are read is the server that stores the messages. I don't think there is a way to control that if you retrieve messages using the POP3 protocol.

There is no standard to mark messages are read, but many mail systems use the Status: header to store a character that indicates whether the message is read, unread, deleted, etc.. Take a look at this RFC document.

Thanks, Manuel.
