Allow .msg file export through JS add-in API in Outlook-Desktop #2671

Closed mspiess closed 2 years ago

mspiess commented 2 years ago

Feature Request: I'd like to create an add-in which create a .msg file of an email and sends it to a remote server for archival purposes. Outlook already can create .msg files through the "Save as..." dialog but this functionality is not exposed to the Office API.

I could access all relevant information through the API and create an .eml file for example (or use EWS/graph-API for that), but I'd prefer to leverage the existing outlook functionality.

I suggest a method getMsgFileAsync( options: Office.AsyncContextOptions, callback?: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<ArrayBuffer>) => void): void on the Office.context.mailbox.item object.

As far as permissions go, "ItemRead" should suffice.

Hi Marco, looks like you've already added this as a new feature idea on our Tech Community page - that's the right way to request it. We review those regularly and consider adding them to our backlog.

How are we to know when/if this gets integrated if there's no issue open to track it's progress. I've commented on the feature request on the community forum, but it seems short-sided that this option isn't already available when the "New Outlook" is completely eliminating the ability to use VSTO or VBA add-ins.

I need this feature as soon as possible ! That will be a great feature to add in office.js for Outlook. It will make the work with more easier... as it will advoid us to use EWS or Graph API.
