PHP and imap_functions()

Hi, I've been working very extensively with the imap functions of PHP4. And I wanted to poll this group, for anyone who knows anything about POP servers. When I use (imap_setflag_full($mbox, $msgnum, "\\Seen")) Things appear to function properly, the server doesn't give off any errors, and PHP doesn't give any errors.. when followed with: imap_header($mbox, $msgnum); echo $header->Recent; It gives back the appropriate (R) flag indicating the message is marked as seen. HOWEVER, when I then go back and "list" all the messages in the mailbox, every message returns with an "N" flag. (Recent and Not Seen). Can someone tell me, am I doing something wrong? OR is it because I'm interfacing with a POP server, and it just doesn't actually set the flag? I've even tried "clearing" the flags on the message, before setting a new flag. I would greatly appreciate feedback on this? I'm hoping to have the script I'm writing, to set the seen flag on a message, when the user views the message.... Granted, it's not that important... but it's just something I'd like to get worked out.
