Just a quick follow-up: I asked the cfx_pop3 guys at www.web-architect.co.uk and they said that the POP3 protocol does not have the ability to determine whether a message is unread. To count unread messages, we will need to find something that can talk to the server through through IMAP. I'll look around and if I find anything I'll post it in case somebody finds it useful :-)
Thanks for cfx_pop3 though Michael. Sounds like a great tool if we ever do need to play with POP3.
