accually pop and imap do set a flag depending if it is new, or seen, etc etc. http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-search.php outlook isnt accually keeping a list of this info (at least it doesnt need to) the mail server is (imap/pop). mail -f /var/spool/mail/username will show you this data too. (new, read, unread, priority) -- Chris Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] ""Mattias Segerdahl"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me explain how Microsoft OUTLOOK knows which emails that it has downloaded from the server, as far as I know, there isn't any way of marking the email in a pop3 queue that they have been either read or downloaded. But then again, I have an inbox with over 20,000 emails in it, and outlook goes through these in less than a few seconds, so, could anyone explain to me how this is done. NEW PART: This is if I've set the outlook client not to delete the email from the pop server, or I've choosen to leave the message for x number of days.. // Mattias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
