I have an Outlook add in written in C#. I was wondering how or if I could get the email address of the current user? Thanks Use Namespace.CurrentUser : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb220041(v=office.12).aspx Tested in VS 2010, .NET 4.0, Outlook 2010: var emailAddress = this.Application.ActiveExplorer().Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress; Depends on the definition of "the current user address".

I'm working on an Outlook 2010 add-in that has multiple ribbons created with the Visual Studio 2010 ribbon designer. I've made an additional XML ribbon (I needed to override the default behavior of some built in ribbon buttons, which can't be done with the designer).

I developed an Outlook Web Add-in that is working fine. It's a Taskpane that is available in compose mode of appointments and that collects event's data, adds a few ones and send that all to an API somewhere. What I would like to do now is to subscribe the authenticated user to the Outlook Rest API in order to get notified when the event is deleted.

Is it possibile to create a custom control in outlook which can be placed in the middle of an application? I mean sommething like this: I know it could be done with the WebViewPane with Add-in Express but can it be achived without buying this product? Maybe someone has seen some articles about writing sommething like that? As far as I know this feature is not supported by Outlook API. Products as Add-In Express, btw, can do it by using unofficial and unsupported hooks. There is a project here that you can look at in order to do the same by yourself. It is an open source project from Microsoft

I have taken over a previously written office add-in with yeoman. I have been changing settings and else but after the initial install to see how far it has gone I believe my outlook client has stored some kind of cache. When I try to install the updated version it still holds the logos and settings for the previous version but when install it on a system which did not have a previous version of it its all good. Any suggestions help. I have tried deleting my local profile file and recreate it by relaunching outlook but that does not seem to have effect on the whole process. Thanks EDIT: I am
