We had a look at it and it fails to compile. I'm not sure if it still
works with the latest Evolution?

There is a function in there that seems useful:
evolution_mail_messageiterator_new, which gets a folder and allows to
iterate over its contents. However, it seems to be a CORBA method which
uses the lower-level C APIs.

Unfortunately EPlugin does not expose this functionality. Is it possible
to write a DBUS server which links with libevolution and uses its email
capabilities.

Again, what we would like to do is get a certain folder, and iterate
through its messages.

Thanks in advance!
