Is it possible to read the content of lets say the last email in a specific email inbox? I´m developing an app for a company and I would like for anyone to be able to send an email to a specific address, and then the content of that email would be visible in a text field inside the app. But for that to work the app will have to be able to have access to a specific email. I bet there are other ways of updating a textfield inside an app but this would make it so easy for everyone to be able to update this news feed.
Thanks!
Third-party apps have no access to the system Mail app’s database. If you want to access the contents of an email, you’ll need to connect to that server and retrieve its mail yourself.

My (editor-like) Windows desktop program can create a new e-mail with the current project attached using MAPISendMail. A customer wants the same functionality for Microsoft Teams.
For the web version, I think I can probably do that with Graph API.
But I can't find anything for the desktop app version. Is there a way to do that?
Bonus:
It would be great if the user could manually specify recipient + body text in Teams (and not in my program).
So you can't actually attach files to messages directly - you basically upload the file to a web location, and then provide a link to the file in the message. As an example, you can upload to the SharePoint document library that exists in the "Files" tab (something like this). Then, in terms of sending the message, you can send to a Team/Channel quite easily using a Webhook. This does not support #mentions the moment though. Another option is to use Graph to send the message.
If you're wanting instead to send a kind of 'private' message to the user, you'd need to look into creating a bot, and sending a 'Proactive' message
Can the Yasoon Outlook development system modify existing emails, so that I could replace all attachments with links to the file from our internal cloud storage environment?
Or does anyone know of an app that will let me do this? I have seen the ones for Box/Dropbox/etc, but we are using FileCloud, and they have a very rich API in addition to the storage being hosted internally.
What the company would like to do is the following:
Select attachments by criteria
Upload the attachment(s) to FileCloud (FileCloud API)
Set the file as shared, with the mailfile owner being the only
authorized user (FileCloud API)
Replace the file in the email with the new share URL from FileCloud
And continue on until all selected attachments have
been processed in the mail file.
Tobi from Yasoon here, sorry for not getting back earlier.
Our tool is probably overblown for this use case though it's possible (https://github.com/yasoonOfficial/com.yasoon.attachment.export)
But you should probably look into the new Outlook API: https://dev.outlook.com/MailAppsGettingStarted/GetStarted
I am trying to build a control that the user can use to send feedback to developer. I am using email as a delivery method and I leverage sendgrid email service for this. Now I want to know the users email address so I can respond back to the user's concern. I am not sure how to get the user's email in window 10. Any help or pointers please?
I would strongly recommend to use the sharing approach that has been introduced with Windows 8 - instead of writing and maintaining your own mail functionality and trying to access additional user data.
Have a look at the existing and built in e-mail functionalities. They make use of the user's connected mail accounts and the mail app. This way you don't need to worry about handling the message transmission or anything but rather hand the information over to the mail client. This way you also know how to reply back.
And as a bonus, the user can still access their message via the Sent Mails folder :)
There is a specific class for that, the EmailMessageClass (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.email.emailmessage.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1) as well as a dedicated guide with code example.

Essentially you can prepopulate the Mail fields with necessary app information where applicable. The user gets to choose which accounts he wants to send the mail from, but it will open in the mail client.
My app uses a parse.com backend. I'm having problems changing the confirmation sent from parse when users sign up. they get an email that asks them to confirm their email address but instead of it being from parse I want to change it to an email that has my own branding on it. Any thoughts?
I'm pretty sure you can do it on the dashboard. Go to parse.com, select your app, then settings, then email. There you'll find the templates.
I'd like to be able to upload photos via email, which I've seen (and used) on eat.ly and meetups.jquery.com but I haven't been able to work out how to do this, does anyone have a solution?
Essentially I believe the process should be something like this:
1) user adds picture to email on mobile device then send to a specific email address, say 'photos#mydomain.com'
2) email server, cron job or something else looks at the senders address and tells it to add the attachement to that account
3) photo shows up on users profile page
I run Apache servers, with MySQL, PHP, and a JQuery framework. I have email servers running Courier, and I missing anything?
The simplest way to do this is to make a cron job that checks the email account using POP, and parses and process any incoming emails.
To read the image attachments, you'll need a MIME parser.
For more specific advice, please tell us what language you're trying to write the script in.
Here is a PHP POP client.
