Hi @barijaona Thank you for supporting Mail. Do you have any ideas or plans for moving MailKit?

[barijaona]

Hi, I intend to, but I have yet to asses the size of the project.

Pointers to examples welcome.

I'm worried. MailKit is very restricted. It seems that MEContentBlocker, MEMessageActionHandler, MEComposeSessionHandler, and MEMessageSecurityHandler are not usable for us.

I don't know if macOS Sonoma's Mail application solves the main reason I use UniversalMailer : the dispersal of messages passing through Microsoft Exchange servers into ATT00001.htm or ATT0001.txt attachments.

If this is not solved, adapting UniversalMailer will remain important.

MEComposeSessionHandler seems relatively restrictive: many properties of mail message are marked read only.

But I remain hopeful we can hack MEMessageSecurityHandler : the idea is to use the protocol to modify the message instead of encrypting it.

@barijaona Hi! Do you have any ideas for updating the plugin? Maybe a beta version?

I don't want to believe that MailKit killed this plugin.

I confirm that Sonoma doesn't solve the issue. But I noticed that the problem is present only on the Outlook App on Windows OS.
