Linking email account with Gmail

My current email account is on yahoo, and I recently got a tablet and set up a Gmail account to retrieve my yahoo mail to my tablet using POP3.(I think) It all seems to work fine in as much that I get my yahoo email delivered to my tablet except for 1 annoying thing - the original emails in yahoo get flagged as if I had read them. Is there a way I can set it so that the emails in yahoo remain flagged as unread after the transfer to Gmail? I hope I made myself clear with all this- sorry if not, but this is all new to me.

    I don't have a Yahoo account, but when doing a similar thing in Gmail itself, it's an option within the settings...

    "2. When messages are accessed with POP..."

    which leads to a drop-down menu;

    * keep Gmail's copy in the inbox
    * mark Gmail's copy as read
    * archive Gmail's copy
    * delete Gmail's copy

    Anything similar in the Yahoo settings?
