I am completely new to Office add-in development, and want to now if what I propose to develop is even possible.
I want to effectively replace message compose and send.
That is to say, there will be a button which, when clicked, will display an HTML form, which will accept user input.
When the for is submitted, it will communicate the user input to my server by an AJAX call.
That's it; no email is sent. I realize this somewhat mis-purposes Outlook. Is it even possible (and do you have any hints as to how to achieve it)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can add alternative buttons in the ribbon bar with your own reply functionality but you won't be able to replace the existing buttons.

SolutionYes, it only allows access to the pane but that will work across the web app, desktop and Outlook on the phone. I did a little on this in a presentation at the Collab365 Global Conference which I linked to at https://www.mcd79.com/presentation-available-for-using-cognitive-services-to-build-an-intelligent-of... and should have details on my github project from it at https://github.com/kevmcdonk/YouveGotSentiment.
