Hi,

If you want to read only unread mails and change its status after reading, you can use ‘Get emails from POP’ entry of process to read the mails. Go to configuration- Settings tab- IMAP settings. Select ‘Get unread messages’ for ‘Retrieve’ field. Only unread messages will be read and message’s status would change from unread to read.
