Mail seen status

[Raghavendra Setty <ra...@tarangtech.com>]

Hi all,

I am using James email server. I have a question on "Seen status" of the
email. Please go through the below:

Below are the steps i follow to read a particular email:

store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect("localhost","blue","blue");
root = store.getDefaultFolder();
inbox = root.getFolder("inbox");
inbox.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);

tempMsg = (MimeMessage) inbox.getMessage(messageNumber);

...........

tempMsg.getAllRecipients();
tempMsg.getSubject();
tempMsg.getContent();
...........

tempMsg.setFlag(Flags.Flag.SEEN, true);

inbox.close(true);
store.close();


Below are the steps i follow while i display the message headers in
inbox:

Message[] msgs = inbox.getMessages();
for(int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
        MimeMessage msg = (MimeMessage) msgs[i];

        ..........

        msg.getSentDate();
        msg.getSubject();
                
        ..........

        if (msg.isSet(Flags.Flag.SEEN)) {
                sysout(“Read”);
        }else{
                sysout(“Unread”);
        }

Even after reading a mail and exclusively setting the "seen" flag to
"true" in the first method, the flag will always be "false" in the
second method. Always prints "Unread".

Please help me to know where the problem is.

Thanks in advance,
Rag Setty

POP3 mailbox have no persistent status.
Specification RFC does not include SEEN support. So you can't use SEEN 
safely with a POP3 server.

You can try feeling lucky with google and "setFlag SEEN pop3" to read 
more about this.
