Update Email Body in Read Mode Using Office.js in New Outlook/Web Outlook
Hello Community, We are creating an Outlook add-in that encrypts and decrypts emails using our in-house proprietry algo. As part of the decryption process, we need to modify the email body in read mode after decrypting the content. We are currently using the following Office.js API: Office.context.mailbox.item.display.body.setAsync(bodyText, (asyncResult) => { // Handle result }); This works as expected in Classic Outlook. However, it does not seem to be supported in the new Outlook or Outlook on the web (OWA). My question: Is there currently any way (including beta APIs) to update the body of an email in read mode using Office.js in the new Outlook or OWA? If not, is there a recommended workaround or a roadmap for this feature in future Office.js versions? We are open to using preview or beta APIs if necessary, as this feature is critical to our add-in functionality. Thanks in advance for your support!
How to Delete a Composing Email Attachment via Outlook Add-in?
Context: Server: Exchange Server 2019 on premise Client: OWA Category: Outlook Add-in Office JS API Set: Supported up to 1.5 only Problem Details: Delete an attachment added manually or through EWS API to an email item. Limitations: 1. Limitation of makeEWSRequestAsync() Office JS method: The makeEWSRequestAsync method in Office.js does not support the DeleteAttachment SOAP operation, which is required from outlook add in. -> Attempted Workaround - Using fetch with EWS SOAP Request: I tried invoking the DeleteAttachment operation via a fetch call to the EWS endpoint. However, EWS response states "requested web method is not allowed for this application". 2. OWA Limitation: As OWA in this environment only supports Office.js up to version 1.5, the modern attachment Office JS APIs and Graph APIs are not an option. Question: In an Exchange On-Premises scenario, how can I programmatically delete attachments via my add-in? Specifically, is there a recommended approach to obtain a valid token for EWS requests, or any supported alternative to perform DeleteAttachment? Any way to convert EWS attachment ID to Office JS attachment UUID? Additional Notes: I am aware that Exchange Online supports more modern APIs (Graph/REST), but my current deployment is strictly Exchange On-Premises. The add-in works well for reading attachments and other operations, except for deletion. Any guidance or recommendations would be highly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Mechanism to notify users of new add-in?
We've just deployed a very useful new add-in to users, other than an external newsletter or word of mouth - how are users meant to know about it? The problem is the add in appears under the [...] menu or they need to @ the add-in, which they don't necessarily know is available. Are there any built in mechanisms to tell users are new add-ins?
