Outlook add-in not showing up for SharePoint Group mailbox - outlook

We have custom Outlook add-in which is displayed when user selects any email message inside Office Outlook client or inside outlook.office.com browser.
I see that Outlook add-in is not displayed when user selects an email present in the SharePoint Group's mailbox either from Outlook client or inside browser.
I tried adding SupportsSharedFolder (thinking it may support Group mailbox) referring stackoverflow question but that too is not working for Group Mailbox. Publishing Outlook add-in which uses Outlook preview element - SupportsSharedFolders
<SupportsSharedFolders>true</SupportsSharedFolders>
I would like to know if Outlook add-ins are supported by SharePoint Group mailbox or not?
Thank you!

These folders are not supported by Outlook web add-ins (as they are not shared folders).

Switch to "Tracked to Dynamics 365" category from "Tracked to Dynamics 365 (Undeliverable) for multiple records simultaneously in Outlook

One of our clients has a lot of emails in 'Tracked to Dynamics 365 (Undeliverable)' in Outlook. Is there any way to move all of these emails into the 'Tracked to Dynamics 365' category in one go? I can not change the category in emails one after other because there are many emails. Please check the attached screenshot
You can develop a VBA macro for the desktop edition of Outlook or web-based Mail Add-ins if you need to get the functionality everywhere. See Outlook add-ins overview for more information.

Cannot select more than 1 email when invoking our Outlook Add-In

We just released our Office JS Add-In for Outlook. Our Add-In takes one or more emails and sends them to an external web service to upload as a case note attachment for our enterprise application. With the previous Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) technology, we could invoke our Add-In with any number of emails selected so that many could be sent at one time. With the Office JS technology, if we select any more than 1 email, the Add-In button is not enabled and we can't invoke our Add-In. We have 12,000 customers using this tool using VSTO and they will report this as a bug for our Add-In given that the old technology works and the new technology does not. We would like this capability added for Office JS so our customers can do what they did using VSTO.
This is not possible today. We track Outlook add-in feature request on our user-voice page.

Outlook web add-in - Folders created through EWS calls not showing up in OWA. Working fine in Outlook Windows. Could it be my code's issue?

I have a Client Project relationship in my web-app. I want to allow my web-app users to be able to file emails right from within Outlook. So in my Outlook Web Add-In, I want to create the client project folders on the fly, if they do not exist already, and move the selected email item in the respective project folder.
My code works fine in Outlook Windows. In Outlook Web, it executes without any errors, but the folders are not displayed. If I reload the web page, the folders are there and the email is in the right folder.
I have talked to Microsoft support and they are saying that OWA is working fine.
Can anybody help me spot any issues with my code?
CreateFolderPath EWS operation is not allowed in my add-in. So that does not seem to be an option.
The manifest file is available at https://newdev.timesolv.com/Integrations/addin/SimpleVersion.xml
This is a bug. It has been submitted to Microsoft and they have acknowledged it.
Update: On January 27th, 2020, the issue was closed by OfficeDev. I confirmed and it was working fine.

How to hide/disable an add-in in outlook but keep it on OWA?

We are developing an Outlook Web App add-in.
Our Client dont want to see the add-in in outlook, in other words, they want to show the enabled add-in in owa only. is it possible to do that?
or is it possible to hide the add-in button in outlook?
This feature is currently not available. The good new is the officespdev.uservoice.com has confirmation from Microsoft that the request to allow mail apps to be OWA only is now in backlog and there is chance it will be implemented. Obviously you are welcome to upvote this request.
Now about options available right now as work around ...
The suggested work around by #NamigIsmayilov (Enable Outlook Web Add-in only on the Web) I wouldn't consider. This is possible, but the manifest crafted this way won't be accepted by Office store.
You may have a look on (How to detect if Office 365 addin is already active from a VSTO Outlook addin or vice-versa?) thread. This is about detection from VSTO/COM add-in, if you have one, web add-in and possibility to display some informational message to the user.

I am loading an Office.js outlook addin (hello-world-addin sample https://github.com/jasonjoh/hello-world-addin) in my web account. The addin seems to be working fine in my old outlook account. However, if i test it in new outlook account, the addin doesnt show at all the Incoming folder (email read). Does anybody knows how to solve that issue?
