Retrieve new/unread message count from POP server

I am making an email notifier but I need to retrieve the number of new or unread messages from the server. I am using idPop3 and I can get the total number of messages on the server, but how do I find which messages are new or unread (counting them is less of a problem if I know which ones they are).
