I was forwarded to stackoverflow for questions.
I have created an addin for outlook that i want to publish on Add-ins store.
I have received failures on my application that i need to resolve.
When the user has made the action in my add-in. I close the email with
"Office.context.mailbox.item.close()"
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/outlook/office.messagecompose?view=outlook-js-1.5#close--
When using Outlook Desktop and replying with "inline reply mode" this method does not work. Is there a way to check if the mail is in "inline reply mode" or not?
I have made a image to be shown that the process is finished and i hope this works since closing the taskpane does not work.
As you noted above, Office.context.mailbox.item.close() does not work for inline replies in the desktop Outlook client. Unfortunately, we have no way of checking whether the email is in inline reply mode or not. We have a UserVoice page where we track feature requests. Please don't to add a feature request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.

I have a requirement wherein on click of button on a dialog, I want an email draft that will popup in Outlook so that any message can be customized before sharing the same.
This is to be integrated in Angular/Nodejs Application.
I assume below possibilities on same.
1.Using Angular to display emailsIds to which mail would be sent
2.On click of "send Email" button,there would be a nodeJs service call that would open Outlook with prepopulated emailIds selected from first screen and using node-outlook library setup up outlook call.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-outlook
Please suggest if any better approach possible for same and also if anyone has worked on such requirement a working demo code would be very helpful to build this on.
You could probably use window.open and mailTo protocol to open the email draft at client end.
window.open('mailto:abc#gmail.com;xyz#gmail.com?cc=pqr#gmail.com&subject=Subject&body=Hello World', '_self');
All Details required to be displayed on the mail could be fetched through node service calls.
we are using Acumatica outlook plugin to create CASES and we are successful in achieving it.
As you know outlook plugin will automatically create a email activity when we create case. So sometimes we send reply from Outlook plugin and some times we send reply from Acumatica.
The issue is - When we send reply from outlook plugin we are unable to see email in "All Emails" screen, but if we are sending reply to same case from Acumatica we are able to see email in "All Emails" screen.
Can someone please suggest us, what we are missing here.
We are in 2019R2, without any customization published.
There could be a couple of reasons you may be running into this problem. Depending on how you have your setup, one reason could be because of the way you have your System Email Account set up. Check what email is sending as, it could be sending a centralized account. Also check what you default email is set on your account.
Also, are you using the Outgoing Tab? Or looking looking at the all records tab? It could be because of the status of your email. When sending through the Outlook plugin, double check the emails are sending, and double check the status of the activity. It could not be completing and being left as an open item.
I looked around the documentation but could not find an answer. I know you can add up to 5 error messages but is it possible to edit the default message that says:
The addin "AddInName" is blocking this email from being sent?
Currently this is not a part of the product. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered when we go through our planning process.
I am working on an Outlook mail app, which will be available to user on web only (not of outlook desktop).
A file need to be uploaded from app to azure via custom control in compose form of App, meanwhile the file is uploaded to Azure user should not be able to close the mail. If they try to do so, a warning should be given to them.
Adding to #Slava's answer, I would suggest using addAsync API for notification messages. You can add a notification of type progress indicator until your task is complete and replace it with a notification of type informational message.

Unfortunately Office.js API does not have the feature you are inquiring. You will not be able to disallow user interaction, as such closing the compose window or closing your add-in. As the API doesn't have "OnSend" or "OnClose" events you will not be able to display any warning either. If this is the new feature you would like to add you may try to send request via Office Developers User Voice.
As the work around you should clearly indicate for the users that they need to wait and do not interup operation. You should display activity indicator, indeed. And finally you should be prepare user still interupt the operation in the middle and work properly with the error occur.
Hope this helps.
While sending email from lotus notes to Gmail using Lotus Script, buttons are not visible in Gmail.
As Anders says, Any standard or custom Action Buttons (at the top) will not be available in Gmail. You would need to code your own Gmail interface to reproduce.
If you are talking about buttons in the actual rich text of the mail, these will definitely not get translated when the mail leaves and you should get a message saying...
"The following items cannot be sent or saved in MIME (internet mail) format."
That would be a clear sign that you are going to need to take another look at your assumptions.
If you are planning a migration, you do need to check your assumptions (and your vendor's promises) carefully, there is a lot of infrastructure and functionality that is taken for granted in the Notes/Domino stack and just not available, or significantly different, in others.
Stored forms are a feature that is unqiue to Notes. They contain Notes design elements, formulas and scripts that execute Notes functions that are provided by the Notes API DLLs that are only available in the Notes client. GMail doesn't know anything about them. Outlook doesn't know anything about them.
But if you want to send them to someone who has a GMail address but who also has the Notes client, then there is a way to do it manually using the "Send this email to other Notes mail user(s) through the Internet" feature, which appears in the Advance tab of the Delivery Options dialog that you can bring up when sending a message. There is no simple API for automating the mechanism that is used, but it can be done. It requires creating a new empty database file with a special name (encap.ond), saving your document into that database, and then attaching the the file to a new message, which will be the one that you actually send. I don't recall if any special headers are required for this, so if you want to pursue it you will have to do some investigation by using the manual process and checking out the full headers of the message on the receiving side.
