You can NOT prevent imap_check from flagging new/recent messages when using POP3 enabling the "/readonly" or OP_READONLY flags or options.

The imap_check ($stream); function will return real-time information about the e-mail box (at least imap) during one connection :)

You can prevent imap_check from flagging new/recent messages as checked by calling imap_open with the "/readonly" or OP_READONLY flags.

Running this on a mailbox will mark recent/new messages as checked.
