How to insert outlook actionable message from outlook Add-In - outlook

New to outlook actionable message, From the documentation I can see that we can send a card via email or connector, is there any way we can send/insert card using addIn from email compose window (using api like Office.context.mailbox.item.body.setSelectedDataAsync())?
Also Can we insert multiple actionable card in one mail?

Currently inserting actionable message via outlook add-in is not a part of the product. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.

Outlook add in OnSend event to trigger only for appointments, not emails

Currently I am developing an Add in for Outlook and I have implemented onSend event. Since it is UI-less and it is always triggered, I was wondering is there a way to only trigger it for Appointments not emails? This is because user experience, for them not to have "Add in" triggered when messages are created and sent out.
There isn't a way to restrict On-send to just appointments. One workaround, which I'm sure you are aware of, is to no-op the event handler if the item is a message. This doesn't solve the problem of the add-in running on messages.

Outlook Web Addin - Event handlers

I have a business requirement where there is a need to extend the functionality of outlook.
I am exploring Office Web Addins for this requirement.I have following queries.
I need to automatically move all incoming email to an external location.Does Office JS API provide handlers to incoming email event?
If it possible to define an action with Office JS API , which when triggered can loop through all the current unread emails and perform some action on each email (like move certain emails to a certain external location )
Is it possible to append custom headers to a email being composed using Outlook web add-in?
No
You can use EWS for that
No.
If your code only needs to run under the Windows version of Outlook, a COM addin might be a better option.
Unfortunately, it seems not possible to meet your requirements using Outlook Web Addin.

Delay emails sent and received through IMAP

I want to put emails the user receives in a sort of "review status" in my app and let users choose manually if they want them to be let through.
For this I need to filter network traffic to withhold emails receivef with the IMAP protocol from Outlook and send them some time afterward. And to the same for emails being sent.
Would this be possible to do on Outlook on Windows 7/8? Or would I be unable to make Outlook receive the mailing after I filter it out?
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for foltering emails.
Instead, you may consider handling the new email programmatically in the code handling the NewMailEx event which is fired when a new item is received in the Inbox. For example, you may develop a VBA macro for doing any customizations in Outlook programmatically. See Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 for more information.
