        // Indicate that we are passing a sequence number and
        // not a UID:
        bIsUid = FALSE;
        // Set the SEEN flag = 1 to mark the email as SEEN,
        // or set it to 0 to mark it as not-seen.

            return;
        }

        // 2) Alternatively, we can use the email object.
        // When an email is downloaded from the IMAP server
        // Chilkat will add a "ckx-imap-uid" header to the email.
        // This makes it possible to know the UID associated with
        // the email.  (This is not the sequence number, which may change
        // from session to session, but the UID which does not change.
        // The SetMailFlag method is identical to SetFlag, except
        // it gets the UID from the ckx-imap-uid header.
        // For example:
        success = CkImap_SetMailFlag(imap,email,"SEEN",1);
        if (success != TRUE) {
            printf("%s\n",CkImap_lastErrorText(imap));
            CkImap_Dispose(imap);
            return;

        CkEmail_Dispose(email);

    }

    // Disconnect from the IMAP server.
