There is no seen state in POP3, as far as I know.

Popuseimapflags says, if the message was RETRieved by a pop client,
set the IMAP flag to Seen.  It's kind of bogus since the pop server
cannot mark which messages were really seen.  With POP3, reading
messages is a local action on the end user's computer.  All POP3
does essentially is download and delete.
