Description
Describe the bug
We define a delta on messages (https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-python/blob/9542fa0b95c58822968116896048a00fe911eda4/msgraph/generated/users/item/messages/messages_request_builder.py#L140) that can be used like await client.users.by_user_id(some_id).messages.delta.get(), however the API doesn't support this (yet) and thus simply returns Unsupported request: Change tracking is not supported against 'microsoft.graph.message'.
Tracking changes on messages, according to the docs, only exists on a per mailfolder basis. message resource type
Expected behavior
Not having it defined (or get Graph API to finally support tracking).
How to reproduce
Given some GraphServiceClient client, a user or mailbox with id some_id and appropriate permissions call:
await client.users.by_user_id(some_id).messages.delta.get()

Other information
Disclaimer this might as well not be a msgraph-sdk-python issue but generally wrongly defined in the msgraph-sdk. I'm reporting it here because I only checked here.

Research direction
Start with the generated users/item/messages/messages_request_builder.py definition around line 140 and compare it with the Microsoft Graph message resource documentation. Check how the messages delta request is exposed and confirm the unsupported API behavior; done means the invalid messages-level delta operation is no longer defined or is otherwise aligned with the documented per-mailfolder support.
