Re: How to download read messages?

Hi,
I tried it out and it works so far.

But all my mails downloaded by getmail are shown as unread. Is there any
possibility to download them with the same state shown in my IMAP
Acoount of my email provider.
With other words, those unread should be downloaded as unread and those
read should be downloaded as read?

Thanks for hints
Pete
