Outlook not showing options to download media - outlook

In incoming mail of outlook, Images are not downloading automatically. I have tried to download it automatically through File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings. I have unchecked all things from there. But there is no success.
I had a "Click here to download media" option below the sender's profile icon. But somehow, I can't see that option also. I am not able to download media automatically.
I have also tried to move the sender to the safe sender list through junk mail settings. The sender is now on the safe sender list. But still, I am not able to download media automatically.
Is there any other way to download it automatically/manually?

If HTML references external images, the message must be stamped with a special property that cannot be transmitted and can only be set locally, either by the end user or programmatically (see PidTagBlockStatus).
Note that you cannot set PidTagBlockStatus property using OOM - it always truncates date/time values to the nearest minute and you will need the exact value of the PidTagMessageDeliveryTime MAPI property .
If using Redemption (I am its author) is an option, you can set set PidTagBlockStatus property using RDOMail.DownloadPictures property.

Which OlSaveAsType can I add to the MailItem SaveAs method?

I am getting the currently selected mailItem from the explorer and saving it to the local file system. The file is then being uploaded to a server. My problem is sometimes the server (which I have no control over) returns that the file format is invalid.
I save the mailItem with the following code:
oMailItem.SaveAs("C:\path\savedEmail.msg")
This creates a file which is 174kb in size. If I add the OlSaveAsType of olMSG then I get the same file size.
If I save the exact same email with the Outlook UI then the chosen/suggested Message format is Unicode. This produces a file of about 251kb ie. much bigger. If I save it with the above code and olMSGUnicode then I also get the same file size.
I am therefore assuming that leaving out the OlSaveAsType option saves the mailItem as an olMSG.
I am currently also assuming that this may be causing some issues with the upload to the server.
What property of a mailItem tells me which OlSaveAsType to use? Can I safely use olMSGUnicode for all saves?
Yes, you can safely use olMSGUnicode format on all modern versions of Outlook.
But the real problem is why the server (?!) returns an error that the format is invalid? Was it corrupted? Can you successfully open the same file you sent to the server? You need to figure out why that error is returned.

NativeScript geolocation set purpose message for tracking location

I'm using nativescript-vue and nativescript-geolocation plugin.
Apple doesn't approve my app because I don't specify what is the reason for geo tracking upon sending the allow request to the user (see example):
As far as I see, there is no such option in nativescript-geolocation to change that message.
Is there any other ways to change this message or perhaps there is a hidden option at nativescript-geolocation that I've missed?
Refer the plugin ReadMe file,
For a custom prompt message on IOS, the following keys are required:

Cannot read Outlook Sent Items with Blue Prism Mapiex Get Mail function

I tested reading mail from Sent Items with BP Mapiex Get Mail, but it only works with Inbox (default folder in action). Folder name is correct (I took it as I see it in Outlook).
Error message: Failure in Get Mail function of Blue Prism Extended
MAPI Automation. Failed to open sub-folder 'Sent Items'.
Would anyone have any ideas, what can help it work with Sent Items?
Thanks!
This is because Get Mail was configured to look in the Inbox only (and sub folders within the inbox). You can add a rule in Outlook to move the sent items to a sub-folder (then you use the Get Mail action), or add a new page in your MAPIEx object. If you go with the latter, you can proceed like this:
Open the MAPIEx object and duplicate the page called 'Get Mail', rename the page and the code stage to something else, such as Get Sent Items, then publish it. I did it this way:
Open the code stage and edit this line (line 17) so that it looks like the following, from OpenInbox() to OpenSentItems():
Editing the highlighted items is optional but preferable as it makes it easier to debug should there be issues. For instance, you would change anything that says Inbox to Sent Items.
From there you can call the action from your process just like you would call Get Mail.

How to share information between cooperating Firefox WebExtensions

I want to create a straightforward extension for Firefox.
User hovers over some word on any page
Pull the dictionary definition of that word from a file inside the extension
Display it while still hovered
I am new to Firefox add-ons and WebExtensions, so here's what I'm wondering:
I want the dictionary file(s) used by the extension to be local, instead of referring to some online website each time.
Any given user might be interested in a different part of the entire dictionary (it contains entries in different languages, users might only want their own 1 or 2 languages) so I want to avoid forcing every user to download the entire dictionary base.
The way I have seen similar add-ons handle that before Firefox 5.* is that they offer the search-and-display add-on separately from the dictionary files which are each available as add-ons in their own right, only actually doing stuff if you have the master add-on installed.
However, none of those examples seem to have been updated for the WebExtensions API and do not support more recent versions of Firefox.
I have also been unable to find how to communicate between web extensions so far.
My question being, how can I share information between 2 or more coorperating extensions to achieve what I described.
And actually, if this seems really stupid for some reason I'm unaware of, do point out any more reasonable alternatives that allow me to handle the dictionary files separately from the main extension.
Possibly related questions I found:
Communicating between 2 Firefox Add-Ons (Cross-Extension Communication)
This one is from 2010 however, thus out of date as far as I could tell.
Mozilla Addon Development - Communicating between windows with different domains
Kind of a similar situation, but they want to pull the definitions from an online source, rather than a local one.
The closest thing I found on the Mozilla browser extension website is communicating between add-on and some native applications, not quite what I need I think.
Communicating between add-ons is a normal part of the functionality of runtime.sendMessage(), runtime.connect(), runtime.onMessage, and runtime.onConnect.
Both runtime.sendMessage() and runtime.connect() have as their optional first parameter:
extensionId
For runtime.sendMessage(), this is:
string. The ID of the extension to send the message to. Include this to send the message to a different extension. If the intended recipient has set an ID explicitly using the applications key in manifest.json, then extensionId should have that value. Otherwise it should have the ID that was generated for the intended recipient.
If extensionId is omitted, the message will be sent to your own extension.
For runtime.connect(), this is:
string. The ID of the extension to connect to. If the target has set an ID explicitly using the applications key in manifest.json, then extensionId should have that value. Otherwise it should be have the ID that was generated for the target.
Both runtime.onMessage, and runtime.onConnect provide a sender property or parameter, either with the message, or as part of the port. This parameter/property is a runtime.MessageSender which includes an id property which is:
id
string. The ID of the extension that sent the message, if the message was sent by an extension. If the sender set an ID explicitly using the applications key in manifest.json, then id will have this value. Otherwise it will have the ID that was generated for the sender.
Note that in Firefox, before version 54, this value was the extension's internal ID (that is, the UUID that appears in the extension's URL).

Outlook AddIn - change the GlobalAppointmentId

Is there a way to change the GlobalAppointmentId of an appointment.
I found this property schema:
var globalIdPropertySchema = #"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{6ED8DA90-450B-101B-98DA-00AA003F1305}/00030102";
and I set a new value to it:
Item.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty(globalIdPropertySchema, MY_NEW_ID);
then when I get it using Item.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty I'm getting the new id, but the Item.GlobalAppointmentId is still the original one.
I'm needing this so that my addin can sync appointments using ICS files, our system sends ICS files with a suffix in the iCalendar UID field.
But it's possible to create appointments for our system through the Outlook AddIn, then the ICS file which is send uses the GlobalAppointmentID as the UID field in the ICS file. We store it, but it needs to have our suffix. Any tips?
You will need to completely release the appointment to make sure Outlook reloads it next time.
Do you see the change after you restart Outlook?
