If you set the POP3MarkRead variable in the NOTES.INI file and you access the mail database at the same time from a POP3 client and a Notes client, the server may not mark the mail as "read" in some cases.
SPR# JMAZ5SMRU9 - Provide an option for POP3 to only mark mail messages as "read" if the content is actually retrieved via the POP3 server.
Prior to this change, if the Notes.ini setting for POP3MarkRead had any non-zero value, the POP3 server would mark a message as read any time the POP3 server opened the message, even if just to satisfy the POP3 LIST command.
Now, by setting POP3MarkRead=2, the POP3 server will only mark messages as read if the content is retrieved by the POP3 client (e.g. via the TOP or RETR command).
SPR# SKAI6HG9N6 - Added the Notes.ini variable "POP3MarkRead=3" which will not mark message as read until after it is successfully sent to client. Also added the Notes.ini variable "POP3TOPNoMarkRead" which, when set to 1, and POP3MarkRead=2 or 3, will disable read marking for the TOP command.
