Java mail POP mark as read and unread

Hi i am developing gmail application using java mail. I can retrieve all my mail from gmail server

store.openFolder("INBOX"); and i can read messages from the folder folder.getMessages();

i can see all the messages. when i use the code

msg.getContext();
.............
...........
folder.close(false);

When i try to execute next time the same code i couldn't get back the mail which i opened already.

if i didn't open the message i can get from server ..

and if i didn't use folder.close method then all the mails i can get from the server...

Please provide me the code to read all messages from server and update opened mails like mark as read,

and when next time i should get all the mails and i should filter whether read msg or unread msg...

Thanks for any help provided

It seems that Java Mail P0P3 API is good at reading messages, however, you could store your last read messages - mabye saving the UID & timestamp in a file or db table.

However, came across Java Mail Version 1.4.4 which has some new features available.
