Not able to read already read emails #91

Hi I used your API to read all emails from gmail. But once i execute program it is not reading the mails which I already read. Is there a setting or API available to read all emails irrespective of whether i already read it or not

thanks Kannan

Are you using Gmail? I have seen service providers only show the email through POP3 if it is unread. Thus, you can only see it once. There is no setting in the POP3 client that can help you here, as it is a server side choice.
