Anyone understand how (or if?) I can use IMAP to be able to:

1) list the number of pieces of mail in a specified mailbox on a specified server
2) retrieve the oldest piece of unread mail (and leave it unread) from a specified mailbox on a specified server

If not in IMAP, does anyone have suggestions on how to solve this? Would like to avoid POP3 due to security issues and the lack of encryption.

thanks in advance,
J
