Can MailKit be used to manage existing messages?

I would like to create a MailKit extension that will allow me to manage my existing messages. I would like to move them around form folder to folder and reqad and update their headers to store some metadata that will be used by the extension.

Looking at the documentation for MailKit suggests that I can only implement 4 types of handlers (content blocker, action handler, compose handler and security handler). I can’t see anything in the docs about being able to get a list of messages in the inbox and manipulate them.

Am I missing something?

I’d love to hear from someone who knows more about this topic before I get into a dead-end rabbit hole.

cheers, -tomek
