I've got a simple script to download emails w/ attachments from Gmail. What is happening is that the message count is set to zero after I do a read. That's fine & what I would expect. But I'd like to know if there's some way to avoid clearing the message count, so I could download messages again if needed. $pop->reset() doesn't make a difference... ========================

$pop = new Mail::POP3Client(
    USER     => $USER,
    PASSWORD => $PW,
    HOST     => $SERVER,
    USESSL  => 'true',
    #  DEBUG => 1,
    PORT => 995
);

print "Status: ". $pop->State()." unread emails:". $pop->Count()."\n";
$count=$pop->Count(); #<<<set to zero after download
if($count < 0 ){ 
    print "Error: Gmail returned ".$pop->Message()."\n";
    exit;
}
elsif ($count == 0){
    print "No messages for $USER\n";
    exit;
}

for( $i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++ ) {
    foreach( $pop->Head( $i ) ) {
      /^(From|Subject):\s+/i && print $_, "\n";
    }
 
    $body=$pop->HeadAndBody($i);
     $stripper=Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($body);
    $msg=$stripper->message;
    @attachments=$stripper->attachments;
    foreach $attachment (@attachments){ 
        #
        print "$#attachments found\n"; 
        # add code to save attachments here
        # structure
        #  $attachments[$i]
        #   0  HASH
        #   'content_type' => 'text/xml'
        #   'filename' => 'foo.xml'
        #   'payload' => "<attachment>
        #
    }
  }
  $pop->Reset();
  $pop->Close();
