You can write
```
export QT_LOGGING_RULES="org.kde.pim.pop3resource.debug=true"
```
in a file called enable-logging-of-pop3-resource.sh that you put into the 
folder ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env

The logs will then be written to the journal which you can read with 
journalctl.

In theory this should be possible by using the "DB Console" of akonadiconsole, 
but I have no idea which query you'd have to use.

No idea. Maybe checking the status for being unread doesn't work.
