James and all,
I will try to explain this after the best of my knowledge.
The read/unread flags are set on the server in the imap case. In the
pop3 scenario most clients stores a copy locally and removes the new
ones from the server. It is possible to retrieve messages from the pop3
server without having to delete them and most clients support this. To
accomplish a read/unread flag in a client in the latter case is client
side implementation dependant.
So in both cases it would be possible to achieve the behaviour you're after.
However, this is something that has to be done in the software client
using the uw-client library routines.

Hello All: I have installed the postfix enabler on a Mac G5 OS 10.3.5.
The postfix enabler uses the UW-IMAP for imap and pop3 services. I
would like to know if I can make a change so that a message will show
as unread when downloaded to more than one computer. I download my
email at work and at home and I would like it to show as unread at
both locations. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks, Jim
