How to write an Outlook addin and access messages? #4321

Closed tquester closed 6 months ago

tquester commented 6 months ago

Though the addin-in does not work, the article does not answer my questions about outlook-addins. How do I write an add-in which is able to move emails by code to another folder.

Hi @tquester. Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, the Outlook JavaScript API doesn't provide a method to move messages to a different folder (see the Outlook add-in API for a list of available properties and methods). However, you can make Microsoft Graph calls in your add-in to perform this operation (see the API). For guidance on how to use the Microsoft Graph API, see Use the Microsoft Graph API.

If you need additional guidance with developing your add-in, we suggest posting a question to Stack Overflow. This will allow the developer community to help and will ensure that the answer can be viewed and found by the rest of the community.

If this is a feature you'd like to see in the Outlook JavaScript API, we recommend creating a feature request at https://aka.ms/m365dev-suggestions.

Hi Sam Ramon,

Thanks for the answer and the explanation. My goal is to create a mail filter for semi manual filtering emails and I read that com add-ins are deprecated but it seems that the com add-in is the only way to create this kind of add-in.

Best regards

Thomas Quester
