is there a way from the headers in the mailspool to see whether a message as been read or not?
For UNIX v7 ("mbox") mail files, if it has a Status: header, it's been read.
That depends on what you mean by "read". Presence of a "Status:" header simply means it has been seen by mail client software. In the context of qpopper, it means it has been uploaded to the mailbox owner's POP3 client software. It doesn't mean he/she has actually read it.
