I want to develop my own Outlook add-in. As I can see in my outlook.com account, there is a possibility to show add-in in vertical panel in Outlook online, not in horizontal inlined panel inside letter. For example, add-ins for Wunderlist and Evernote. What should I do to run my add-in in vertical panel in Outlook online (not in Outlook Desktop for Windows)? I saw in the MS documentation, that vertical pane add-in is only allowed in compose mode, but as I can see in reality, it is not true:
evernote add-in screenshot
wunderlist add-in screenshot
Also, in my old account on some exchange server, add-in for Wunderlist is shown as horizontal pane, not vertical for some reason.
So, my questions are:
1) Is outlook vertical pane add-ins available only for some partners of Microsoft? And when it will be available to everyone else?
2) How can I create vertical pane add-in in Outlook online?

In outlook desktop, we have recently noticed our addin (looks like all addins) are not loading in the ribbon section. This is not permanent. When we open the profile again, sometimes its there and we cannot find any pattern to this behavior.
Adding screenshots of the same.
From the image, you can see the addin taskpane opens with our addin "Emailgistics". However, the addin does not show up in the ribbon.
Previously, when we opened the profile, the addin was present in the ribbon, we clicked on it to open the task pane, and also pinned the addin. We think this is why the addin task pane opened up as soon as we selected an email.
The issue seems to be isolated with the ribbon. Any help will be much appreciated.
Also adding the outlook desktop version.
Is there any way to add a button in home menu of outlook app?
If I click a button, I want a particular website to appear as a pop-up window.
Any comments would be appreciated!
VBA doesn't allow customizing the Fluent UI in Outlook. To customize the ribbon UI in Outlook you need to develop an add-in.
A rich customization is available for COM based add-ins, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook to get started quickly. You may find the Walkthrough: Create a custom tab by using the Ribbon Designer helpful.
Another possible route is web-based add-ins. See Add-in commands for Outlook for more information. There is no so much flexibility like with COM add-ins, but the solution allows to support multiple platforms - Web, Mac OS, Windows.
Screenshot of the Issue
In my Mac Outlook, i see the app store button inside the email, instead of Ribbon Bar.
& when i install a addin, it also shows up inside of an email, instead of Ribbon Bar.
i have another addin that is installed in the Ribbon Menu.
is there a setting i should do, to shift this addin to ribbon & make it load vertically.
I am trying to create a content pane add-in for power point that includes ribbons with add-in commands. I have looked at the Create add-in commands tutorial as well as the examples here.
The add-ins in examples and tutorials that I'm able to find are all task pane add-ins. Is there a way to create content pane add-in with add-in commands and ribbons?
Following the tutorials, I have been able to create the commands for task pane add-ins. However, when I change the OfficeApp xsi:type from "TaskPaneApp" to "ContentApp", the add-in ribbon does not appear anymore. I believe this is because the schema I am using in VersionOverrides is not compatible with content apps.
Is there a VersionOverride schema for content pane add-ins? I have only been able to find http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides and http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/taskpaneappversionoverrides.
Add-in Commands are currently only supported with Task Pane Add-ins.
From the documentation:
Content add-ins do not currently support add-in commands.
I can see Addins tab is missing from Outlook 2007 ribbon on some PCs. In most cases it's there. But in some cases Addins tab is hidden so all addins buttons are not available. Is there a way to display it?
The "AddIns" tab in Office 2007 is only visible if the addin is using old features such as the CommandBars, MenuItems etc in version 2007.
For e.g. if an old COM addin createa a new commandbar with 2 buttons and adds a new menu "MyMenu" then these will be displayed in the "AddIns" tab in Office 2007. AddIns are now suppose to use the Ribbon feature.
Also, if the addin changes/repurposes some commands using the CommandBar object the repurposed commands, menu items will be added to "AddIns" tab.
use office button (most top left button) -> word button (or excel or ...) -> Add-Ins
