I'm developing a VSTO add-in for outlook. One part of this addin is a welcome screen that appears after first launch and on this screen I want to check if Outlook is a default mail client and if it's not provide users with the ability to set it as a default client. I know this can be done in Outlook's Tools/Options menu but I really woul...

I find a topic at MSDN Outlook 2007 Sample Add-ins: Rules Add-in, Travel Agency Add-in, and Prepare for Meeting Add-in but this topic does not show how to develop a custom action. Out...
I have an Outlook VSTO C# Addin for both OL 2003 and 2007. I am having a problem on 1 user's machine where Outlook hangs each morning (only first thing in the morning) after the user starts her machine. Outlook is in cache mode and starts the process of updating the cache (Updating folders ... in the status bar). Sometimes before and ...
I have tried many permutations of the same code, and always with the same result - the Outlook 2007 AddIn seems to be unable to remove the MailItem from the drafts folder - so a 'move' operation actually becomes a 'copy', and a 'delete' operation does nothing. (Note: The AddIn was responsible for creating the item in the Drafts folder i...
We have a situation where we will have two VSTO Outlook add-ins which both start off with some common shared code, but the shared code will probably diverge over time. Ideally, we'd like to restructure the add-ins to factor out the common code into a separate shared dll, but for non-technical reasons this is not an option right now. What...

Hi, I'm working on outlook 2003 AddIn using VSTO. Is it possible to list all the folders that are shared with current user? OR to list the shared folders currently opened by user in outlook? ...
the FolderRemoveEventHandler isn't global, it can just be used to notify when a folder is removed from the top level of a specific folders collection. I need an event to fire when any folder is removed/deleted - does such a thing exist? ...
Hi, I have an outlook add-in that allows the user to save an email into a database. When the user does save the email i modify the email subject so it can be identified as being saved. Saving the email can happen in two ways. Via a button on the tool bar which allows the user to save any email they want, and also via a prompt which app...
I've created a VSTO 2.0 SE add-in for Outlook 2007. Usually, it installs no problem on end-users' machines, but sometimes they have an outlook.exe.config file next to Outlook.exe which specifies that only .NET 1.0 or 1.1 is allowed to load. For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <startup> <supportedR...

Is there a way to do this without having to use the Outlook MailItem's SaveAs() method to save to a temp file and then read the file back in? I will need to transfer...
ThisAddIn class created with new Outlook VSTO C# project has a Application property that you can use to among other things get access to Outlook folders and items. The problem is that you can easily use it when you're inside of ThisAddIn class but there's no easy access to it from other classes in the project. This is because it's an ins...
I'll explain here what I have done and I will be really grateful if someone helps me. I've seen there are some posts about this problem, but I want to know if I made some mistakes.
