I have a question regarding Microsoft Outlook. One person in my team said that it is possible to change side of the navigation pane (pane including favourites, inbox, etc.) from left to right side.
Is it really possible? I checked the documentation and didn't find the answer.
Thank you for any response.
I've just received an official answer that it is not possible in Outlook 2010.

I am writing an Outlook Add-In (Web version, Desktop) and so far I was able to add a link to my app in the contextual menu (see screenshot below - highlighted in yellow). This work well, but it is almost impossible to find the add-in and this is resulting in a ton of customer support calls. I was wondering if there is a way to add the button next to "Send", "Discard", or after the "Elipsis" buttons. This way the add-in would be more visible.
I was thinking about directly modifying the DOM if it is not possible, but I would prefer to not do that.
You can add a button there neither from a web based JS addin nor from a COM based addin for the desktop version of Outlook.

instead of showing button inside email body read document but it doesn't help me to find solution,
You cannot get your add-in icon displayed in any place you like. The add-in controls are defined by manifest and displayed in predefined locations of particular client (Outlook Web, Outlook desktop for Windows or Mac, Mobile). Up to developers (Microsoft team) to define the place where the add-in controls will be displayed.
EDIT:
There are two places where add-ins may appear in the client interface. This depends on what type of add-in you have created. There are command add-in and contextual add-in. Both of them will appear somewhat in the space of the message view anyway. The following are examples of where they appear withing the interface ...
And for web view ...

I’m a developer working on an add-in for Microsoft Outlook. We are running into a UI bug with certain window sizes. We are having problems resolving this, because we are supporting a horizontal add-in view that we encountered on Outlook on the web in 2016 (please see links below for examples). We haven’t been able to find this view/layout anywhere over many Outlook platforms. Is it safe for us to assume that the horizontal read view has been completely replaced by the add-in commands version that opens the taskpane on the side?
Example One
Example Two
#K. Yu, horizontal add-ins are no longer supported, so use Add-In commands or Contextual Add-ins, depending on what suits your needs.

I have previously been asking about add-in in this section of Outlook, but I have a new requirement now that I can't seem to figure out how to address.
I have a button that appears on appointments for both Organizer and Attendee. The button works as intended for both parties.
However, we have now been made aware that there are several users who are working with shared calendars, in which they are not Organizer nor Attendee.
For these users the button is visible but it is in a "disabled" state and can not be clicked.
So my question is: How do I configure the button (I expect it can be done in the manifest somehow) so that it is also available for people looking at shared calendars (aka not as organizer nor as attendee).
Any help is appreciated, thanks ;)
This is not possible today.

Unfortunately want you want to do is impossible. Outlook views always require a list of items to be displayed (whether it's a Table, Card, List view, etc.). The only UI elements you can control are the Reading Pane and the Folder Pane.
There is no way to customize the built-in UI. The Outlook extensibility model doesn't provide anything for that out of the box. As a workaround you can develop an adjacent Outlook window where you can display whatever you need. See Creating Adjacent Windows In Outlook for more information.
