If I use the Pro version with an IMAP server, will it determine the read/unread status of a message? If not, once the user logs in to the webmail, will the server update the webmail database if the user deleted a message or changed the message read/unread status in Outlook?

New MailBee WebMail Pro 3.2 beta version already supports these features.
The production version will be released in a week or so.

I would like to have the number of new (unread) messages displayed on the home page of my site. I already have the first 5 messages on the mail server listed, and a link set up to redirect the user to their inbox when they click the subject line. I just need a way to compare the message ids in the webmail DB against those on the server. Should I just write my own ASP for this? or is there a built in method? I am using webmail 3.2

There is no bult-in function for this but you can get the number of unread messages from the query like below:
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wm_messages WHERE bln_read=0 AND id_user=" & id_user & " AND id_folder=" & id_folder
To get id_user and id_folder values, you can use the code in list.asp (these values must be present in request parameters).

Alex

I assume that select statement would only check messages already received to the webmail DB. So I would need to check for new mail on the server prior to running this query... correct?

Yes, if you also wish to download mail which was not yet downloaded from the mail server, you can use get_mail.asp script as scratch to write your own script.
Then, you can run SQL script which returns the number of unread messages.

Alex,
I checked the get_mail.asp script, and tried to find where the code determines if the message on the server needs to be downloaded or not. I assume this utilizes the message id, but the message ID's in the database don't seem to corelate with the ones returned by messageid method.
If I can determine how a message is identified for download by the script, then I should be able to count it as either read or unread without having to actually dowload any full messages do the webmail DB. I would like to avoid this as it could cause a delay in displaying the page if many messages are present for download.
Thanks again for your help!

Alex,
I figured this out. I should have been using the message UID rather than the message ID from the headder. Using the UID I should be able to identify read vs unread.
Thanks!

Yes, you're right. UIDs should be used to identify downloaded/not yet downloaded messages.
