Any idea for me?
I try drag and drop email to attacked file when create new mail or reply mail.
I try drag and drop email to my add-in, but not support.
Similar question lead me to this:

Unfortunately both the Mailbox API and the JavaScript for Office API do not have any methods or events that facilitate dragging and dropping items in Outlook Online or in the desktop Outlook clients.

I am writing a plugin for Outlook, where I need to fetch only few emails based on some back end Logic.
I have stored those email Message Unique Ids in my DB. And on click of plugin Icon, I wish to load only those Emails to load in my Inbox.
Example, the logic is same as how we click on particular folder like sent items or unread items, it refreshes the Inbox with only the respective emails.
I have created a plugin icon following the tutorial:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/addin-tutorial
Using NodeJS for coding. Can you please give a pointer, how do we load emails in Inbox? or if we can load only specific emails in Inbox?
This is not possible if you're attempting to use the Outlook's inbox display module to show the items you're refreshing. You will have to open a dialog / or a new browser tab to show the custom list of items - which I think is not good user experience. As Brian called out, office-js add-ins are quite restricted.
Is it possible in an office add-in (using office-js) to detect when the user creates an appointment in Outlook ?
No, there is no straight forward way via Office-js.
Basically Outlook web addins are scoped to the item in preview, i.e, user invokes the add-in on a mail item (message / calendar event) and add-in can work with the item it was invoked on.
But if your addin has ReadWriteMailbox permission, there is a roundabout way to acheive the same using REST
Get REST token using Office.context.mailbox.getCallbackTokenAsync API.
Using REST push notifications you can listen on event created.
I'm looking for a programmatic way (eg: using VBA) to write the Subject texts of emails which are open, or otherwise export opened emails to a file system folder.
Trap the Application.Inspectors.NewInspector event an read the Inspector.CurrenmtItem.Subject property. Reading pane needs to be handled separately.
My company has an issue with Outlook when it is triggered to open by Excel that causes Outlook to hang indefinitely when loading (an issue which cannot be easily fixed). We have a few workbooks with custom ribbons where we now check that Outlook is open first before allowing the user to send via email. The problem is that this doesn't account for users that still use the File > Save & Send > Send as Attachment.
I would like to know if anybody knows about a process by which I can add on a routine to the existing button that we could save as an Excel Add In on everyone's Excel that checks first if Outlook is open? I have the Outlook check written so I'm just needing help with finding a way to run it.
Any help is appreciated.
Alternatively you could disable Send as Attachment.
I wouldn't know what is important so I won't copy parts here.
How do you disable “Save and send” in Excel 2010 (in the File ribbon (called backstage in Office 2010)?
Disable the Send button in the Office Menu
You may consider repurposing the ribbon controls. See Temporarily Repurpose Commands on the Office Fluent Ribbon for more information.
Unfortunately the Backstage UI doesn't allow to repurpose controls from the XML markup. You may consider hiding the built-in UI and rebuilding it fully with custom commands. Thus, you will be able to handle the commands on your own. You can read more about that in the Introduction to the Office 2010 Backstage View for Developers article. Also see the Customizing the Office 2010 Backstage View for Developers article.
The only way I have found to retain attachments with an email from Outlook to SharePoint is to do a save as .msg and drag and drop into the SharePoint library.
I would like to set the library to receive email and retain the attachment as part of the email. I don't want the attachments to separate from the email when they arrive in the library.
Is there an add-in to Outlook or a fix in SharePoint 2010??????
You have two options:
1. Stick with the SharePoint options like adding attachments to the library or to a sub folder of the library based on subject or sender.
2. Write a custom email event handler. Here is an example for 2007, but it should work in 2010 as well: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/malag/archive/2009/05/13/attachments-disappear-with-custom-email-event-handler.aspx

Marco, when I created the EventHandler to try and retain the message and attachment when activated it still came through as it was before by separating the message and attachment in two different files
Yes there are add-ins. I have used some 3rd Party tools for Outlook and SharePoint:
Scinaptic's OnePlaceMail
Colligo
Macroview
They are all good.
