I'm evaluating Mail.dll. I'm trying to duplicate Thunderbird's functionality where it can delete large attachments from an email. I came across this blog post:

https://www.limilabs.com/blog/remove-attachments-from-email

If I follow those instructions will that only delete the attachments ? Will the all of the other date fields like sent, received, etc stay the same?

Yes, RemoveAttachments removes attachments (and visuals MIME elements such as images) only. Text, html, date, from to information, and all email headers are preserved.

Attachments are removed from the downloaded message. The message on the IMAP or POP3 server is of course not modified.
