        //  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.

        //  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 = CkImapW_SetMailFlag(imap,email,L"SEEN",1);
        if (success == FALSE) {
            wprintf(L"%s\n",CkImapW_lastErrorText(imap));
            CkImapW_Dispose(imap);
            CkEmailW_Dispose(email);
            return;
        }

    }

    //  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
    success = CkImapW_Disconnect(imap);
