Notice:
Messages that are processed by Email2SMS Poller (but not deleted) are marked in the mailbox as read. Software is
based on flagging messages- Read/Unread. Marking a read message in the mailbox as unread will result in being
processed again by Email2SMS Poller. We suggest using a separate email account to avoid situation with resending
the same message (marking unread already processed read message).
