ConsumeIMAP - Reset State?

Question

Consumer IMAP - Reset State?Can anyone tell me how to control state on Consume IMAP (v1.11.4)I have successfully implemented a flow where I receive emails using the ConsumeIMAP ExtractEmailHeaders and ExtractEmailAttachements, all is working as expected.I have set the properties:Delete Messages = falseMark Message as Read = false so my emails remain in the INBOX.I would like a way to "reset" -  so that the processor would receive all the emails again, however I can't seem to find where state is controlled.Stopping and starting the processor does not reset;Stopping/Starting Nifi does not reset. Does this processor hold some other state or does it query my provenance to workout where it is up to? Would I need to delete the provenance to reset it? I was expecting some kinds of state similar to ListSFTP? Any help appreciated John

Per documentation: https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-email-nar/1.11.0/org.apache.nifi.processors.email.ConsumeIMAP/

State management: This component does not store state.

If you click Additional Details: https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-email-nar/1.11.0/org.apache.nifi.processors.email.ConsumeIMAP/additionalDetails.html

It goes into some debug steps that may help you understand what is going on.

Unfortunately I think the only way to reset it, would be to delete and create again.
