I have two e-mail accounts in my Outlook and when replying e-mails, I don't want to choose all the the time the account which will be sent with. How can this be done?
For Outlook 2007
Select Tools | Account Settings... from the menu.
Highlight the desired account.
Click Set as Default.
Now click Close.

Not currently. You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team goes through the planning process.
When creating or viewing an appointment or meeting as the organizer, add-in commands added to the default tab appear on the Meeting, Meeting Occurrence, Meeting Series, or Appointment tabs on pop-out forms. However, if the user selects an item in the calendar but doesn't open the pop-out, the add-in's ribbon group won't be visible in the ribbon.
When viewing a meeting as an attendee, add-in commands added to the default tab appear on the Meeting, Meeting Occurrence, or Meeting Series tabs on pop-out forms. However, if a user selects an item in the calendar but doesn't open the pop-out, the add-in's ribbon group won't be visible in the ribbon.

i'm running timer on task pane Add-in in outlook. when user inactive means if user switch to other tab I need to stop timer and when user back click on outlook mail, I need to resume timer. can anyone guide how to do this?
OfficeJS doesn't provide any events for that. You may consider posting your suggestion to the Tech Community at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions, feature requests are considered when the team goes through our planning process. Don't forget to use the Github label: “Type: product feature request”.
In case of COM based add-ins (VSTO) you could handle the Inspector.Activate an Inspector.Deactivate events for the inspector windows in Outlook. If you need to deal with Explorer windows you may consider using the Explorer.Activate
Outlook displays the following text: “As the meeting organizer, you do not need to respond to the meeting,” and this happens when Outlook opens my IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request message.
The message store owner is not the organizer, and I really don't know why Outlook can display this text. Can you help me find out the reason for the behavior of Outlook?
If the user/account from which the meeting request was sent has the same display name as the invited attendee then Outlook thinks the meeting organizer is the same person as the attendee. In such cases, Outlook will not let you ACCEPT the meeting request, but instead shows:
As the meeting organizer, you do not need to respond to the meeting.
As a workaround, you need to ensure the display names are not exactly the same. Change one of the display names and the other, so they look different.
After years of developing COM add-ins, I am now doing a outlook js add-in. So I am newbie to this enviroment.
I have a couple of questions regarding the ribbon architecture.
From what I have read, I believe the TabDefault is the only option for the ribbon group. I am trying to place my ribbon group at a specific location and emulate the COM add-in. For example, for my Outlook COM add-in I can place my options button that pops up a dialog on the TabMail ribbon before group GroupQuickSteps. Is the Outlook ribbon only limited to TabDefault?
I would like to design my ribbon to have one button on the compose ribbon and one button on the read (pop-out) button. Then I would have two buttons on the main ribbon (TabMail). All buttons would perform different functions. Can I define separate logic for each ribbon/window? The only example I see is that Contoso sample app. Kind of confused about the manifest and limitations. Looks like that example pops up on all windows.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
Web add-ins don't support ribbon customizations you could do with a COM add-in. But web add-ins provide the ability to create ribbon commands. You can read more about them in the Add-in commands for Outlook article.
Add-in commands are supported for four scenarios:
Reading a message
When the user is reading a message in the reading pane or in the Message tab for a pop-out read form, add-in commands added to the default tab appear on the Home tab.
Composing a message
When the user is composing a message, add-in commands added to the default tab appear on the Message tab.
Creating or viewing an appointment or meeting as the organizer
When creating or viewing an appointment or meeting as the organizer, add-in commands added to the default tab appear on the Meeting, Meeting Occurrence, Meeting Series, or Appointment tabs on pop-out forms. However, if the user selects an item in the calendar but doesn't open the pop-out, the add-in's ribbon group won't be visible in the ribbon.
Viewing a meeting as an attendee
When viewing a meeting as an attendee, add-in commands added to the default tab appear on the Meeting, Meeting Occurrence, or Meeting Series tabs on pop-out forms. However, if a user selects an item in the calendar but doesn't open the pop-out, the add-in's ribbon group won't be visible in the ribbon
Using a module extension
When using a module extension, add-in commands appear on the extension's custom tab.
Feel kinda silly for having to ask, but anyway... I seem to be missing the add-in toolbar shown inside of an e-mail which for instance contains the button to watch an address in Bing maps. The entire bar is missing. I tried finding an option to view it, that doesn't seem to exist (so it cannot be disabled either :)). Also tried making my O365 the only Outlook account since I have a corporate account where add-ins are not enabled.
To be clear; it's the bar as shown in this video by Jeremy Thake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDBMI9OcqBQ, the entire bar is missing in both Office 365 OWA and the desktop client, from multiple PC's. Other add-in stuff does work, like the Boomerang add-in pane in an e-mail. I sent myself some e-mails with addresses in them (including the sample ones) to be sure it should trigger, but nothing happens. What am I missing here?
From the desktop Outlook client, click File -> Info -> Manage Add-ins. It will launch the Manage add-ins page in the Outlook Web Application (or click the gears icon in OWA and choose "Manage add-ins"). Do you see the Bing Maps add-in listed? If not, click the + icon and select "Add from the Office Store" and look for the Bing Maps add-in.
