Retrieving messages marks them as "Seen"/"Read"

Question

When I retrieve messages with your IMAP component, it's automatically marks them as "Seen"/"Read" (var eml = imap.GetMessageByUID(uid);)

My Questions:

1. can I set it to not mark it as read automatically?
2. if no, can I get the correct status before its changes?

Answer 1

You can use Imap.Peek* methods, if you don't want your IMAP server to mark messages as seen.

var eml = imap.PeekMessageByUID(uid);
