Unseen Property

Gets the ordinal message number (in 1 : MessageCount range) of the first unseen message in the currently selected mailbox.

If you rather need to get the count of unseen messages (not the position of the first such message), either call IMAP.Search(False, "UNSEEN") in the currently selected mailbox or IMAP.GetMailboxStatus(MailboxName) in case if you need this for other mailboxes (not necessarily selected).

Value Type:	Long

Parameters:	None

Remarks:	This property is read-only

Usage example:

' This sample examines "Inbox" mailbox and displays the ordinal message number of the first unseen message

Dim Mailer
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox

Mailer.EnableLogging = True ' Logging helps to discover any problems
Mailer.LogFilePath = "C:\Temp\imap4_log.txt"

Mailer.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
If Mailer.Connect("mailserver.com", 143, "MyName", "MyPassword") Then
  If Mailer.ExamineMailbox("Inbox") Then
    MsgBox Mailer.Unseen & " is the first unread message"
  End If
  Mailer.Disconnect
Else
  MsgBox Mailer.ErrDesc
End If
