Is it possible to get Microsoft Exchange Online Transport Rules (Email server-side rules) and apply them locally to my Outlook desktop messages?

I am trying to write an Add-in to Outlook 2016 and I want server-side rules (Transport rules, aka Mail Workflow) to be applied to my Outlook email locally not on Exchange online. The concept of My my Add-In is next: download server-side rules , apply to an email and send it. The maximum I have achieved was connecting to Exchange Online server and using Get methods in PowerShell to download server rules. I did not find related API only old VBA Outlook 2007 Is there any API to do so? Are there any other ways to do so?

AFAIK there are no automated ways to convert or export transport rules to client/Outlook rules. However, the Outlook Object Model (OOM) has good support for creating and managing Outlook rules via VBA, a COM add-in or a custom desktop application using OOM. The actions and conditions may not be 100% identical but you should be able to convert the majority of rules. See: Managing Rules in the Outlook Object Model.
