getmail has no control over that; all it's doing is delivering the messages
according to your configuration.  It doesn't do anything to try to declare
whether a message is "read" or not, and has no way to tell that with the
information it has.

Whatever program is reading them afterwards - whichever one is telling you the
message is "read" - is deciding whether they're read or unread - if that's a
program you also read mail on the server with, maybe by whether it's seen that
Message-ID: or not.
