Hi everyone we are using pop3 for downloading a mail with attachment.In it we want to mark the messages as red for the attachment downloaded mails .Here pop3 doesn't support the flag, where imap supports by setting the flag
Code: |
Flags.Flag.SEEN flag to true |
.My question is that Is there any way for marking the mails(read) when we have successfully downloaded the attachments for that mail.Thank you. |

Important safety tip.
POP3 removes email from the server.
IMAP doesn't.

But the copy of the mail still exists in the gmail account.We want to mark that mail as read after downloading the attachment from the code. |

May I humbly suggest that if you are indeed using POP3 to retrieve the email and it is still in GMail it is a GOOGLE problem.
Have you tried the same operation with a thick email client like Thunderbird?
Configure a POP3 connection and get the emails. If it is still there then is it a Google problem
Trying something like this is really a no-brainer and most certainly not rocket science. _________________ WMQ User since 1999

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

In the gmail they have provided a drop down list for pop that contains 1)Keep gmails copy in inbox,2)mark gmail copy as read 3)Delete gmails copy4)archive gmails copy.Here we cant select the options for the mail account since it resides in client side.So we are checking for a solution other than this to mark the mails that are downloaded as read. |
