Don't set the \Seen flag

+1 vote

I have a question...

If I see the unseen messages... I process this message, but i don't like that this email message is marked as "seen" before i put a line like eml.seen = true or something like that.

I need to put manually the state of seen or unseen, not automatically.

Is possible?,

Thanks.

Yes it's possible. You need use **Imap.Peek*** methods e.g. Imap.PeekMessageByUID. Those methods don't set the \Seen flag on the email messages they use.

Then, after you processed the message, you can use
Imap.MarkMessageSeenByUID to set the \Seen flag or Imap.MarkMessageUnSeenByUID to remove it.
