if ( messages [ i ]. isSet ( Flags . Flag . USER )) {

Here's a sample run. The first message has been read and deleted. The second message
has no set flags; it hasn't been read, deleted, or answered. The third message has been
read and answered but not deleted. Notice that I'm using an IMAP server instead of a
POP server:
% java FlagsClient imap://[e-mail]/INBOX
