What command line tool? If it used MAPI/RPC (i.e. acted like Outlook)
it requires a mailbox and any message you send woould be recorded as a
change to that mailbox.

That may be true. But unless you used SMTP to send the messages there
were changs in the sending mailbox that must be recorded in the
transaction logs.

??? How did you arrive at this concluson?

The changes made when you saved the messages as drafts were recorded
in the transaction log.

I submit that your suspicions are suspect.
