Reading mails using JavaMail

This question is more about the behavior. I have been using both POP3 and IMAP to access mails in Gmail using JavaMail API. I noticed something and I wanted to clarify my doubts regarding the same.

I am currently retrieving unseen mails from my Inbox. There were a couple of unread mails and I retrieved them using POP3. I switched over to IMAP and read the same inbox and I was able to retrieve the same 2 mails.

I've been recently using JavaMail and I encountered this kind of behavior and I wanted to know if this is the expected behavior?

You read your mail, did not delete or change anything, so when you read it again it was still there and unchanged. That's all.
