In short; currently yes you will be shown as logged in as long as its checking your private messages.

Ouch, so a user will be shown as logged in and new message pointers will not be correct as long as the user is running the program.

Sure wish Jelsoft would offer a hook for programs like these to check for new PM's and such without having to use a session variable that resets the new message pointers.(Hint, Hint to any Jelsoft dev reading this)
