Purpose: search synced metadata, then fetch full body and part content on demand.

UI Flow

UI calls /api/accounts/:account_id/emails/search.
User opens a message.
UI calls /body for full parsed message.
UI calls /parts then /parts/:part_id/content for selected part previews or downloads.

Client Library Flow

  limit: 20,
});

  const body = await api.emails.getBody(accountId, emailId);
  const parts = await api.emails.listParts(accountId, emailId);
  const firstPart = parts.data[0];
  if (firstPart) {
    await api.emails.getPartContent(accountId, emailId, firstPart.id);
