AFAIK there's no actual framework to do this. However, Mail is
scriptable, so you might be able to do it via an AppleScript (which
you can run from within your application) or via the equivalent Apple
events (which you can send directly). I have not seen this done, so
YMMV.
Finally, if all else fails, it's probably not too hard to reverse
engineer Mail's preferences format. Obviously this is not a
supported solution (that is, future changes to Mail could break your
code). If you do take this route, please make sure to file a bug
describing what you did and why you had to do it, so that we can
consider enhancing the system to add a supported solution for this.
