Ribbon can only be modified from a COM addin. Please see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398246.aspx

I am trying to develop a outlook addin using yoman-generator.
The code runs and opens outlook but the taskpane addin doesnot appear anywhere on the ribbon.
Also checked the disabled and inactive addins but the taskpane is nowhere to be found.
Anyone can help me on this please? And I am using outlook 2016
First of all, you need to check the manifest file for any ribbon UI customizations. If ribbon buttons are not listed there, you will never find them on the UI.
Also checked the disabled and inactive addins but the taskpane is nowhere to be found.
It seems you have checked the list of COM add-ins, not web add-ins in Outlook. On the Home tab you may find the Get Add-ins button which opens the Add-ins dialog where if clicking on the My Add-ins tab on the left side of the window you may find your add-in listed. If it is not listed there you need to add it by pointing to the manifest file. Before doing that you need to make sure the web server where the add-in is hosted is running and files are accessible.
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.
We know we can add the Tags attributes to the slide from "windows PowerPoint add-in". But we couldn't find that option in web add-in. Is there any way to add the TAGS to the presentation from the PowerPoint web add-in? We are stuck with this issue. Any help would be appreciable. Thanks in advance.
There isn't currently a way to do that with a PowerPoint web add-in. But it's a good idea. Please suggest it to Microsoft Developer Platform
I've tried to port over some code that worked in Visual Studio 2013 and adapt it for a new project in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition with the Office developer addin.
I'm not quite sure what I've done differently, but this time round Outlook 2013 isn't displaying the ribbon tab that I created. It's not disabled, and it's not available in the "Customize Ribbon" dialogue either.
Sorry to be so vague, but I'm at a loss as to what to check and where to start to resolve this. I've attached a quick screengrab showing the tab I was hoping for and the debugger attached to the right outlook instance.

Do you get any UI errors?
By default, if an VSTO Add-in attempts to manipulate the Microsoft Office user interface (UI) and fails, no error message is displayed. However, you can configure Microsoft Office applications to display messages for errors that relate to the UI. You can use these messages to help determine why a custom Ribbon does not appear, or why a Ribbon appears but no controls appear. See How to: Show Add-in User Interface Errors for more information.

Is it possible to add a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon just for a specific page?
I found many examples about adding a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon via CustomActions (XML) in Visual Studio 2010, but nothing about adding it in a specific page.
As far as I know this not possible via custom actions.
However, you could write a delegate control that creates your ribbon button through code.
SharePoint 2010 Fluent Ribbon API helps you creating ribbon elements programmatically.
To see how you can do what Stefan suggests, you can take a look at Part 2 of my blog post series here. In the same way, you can check the current page in your server side code so that you can show/hide a ribbon button.
