Outlook Anywhere is not enabled on the Exchange server used at the company I work for.
People using Outlook on the Mac are able to get their mail remotely using EWS but i can't find any information on doing this in Outlook running on Windows 7.
The Exchange Server is 2010, does anyone know if I can use EWS to send/receive mail from Outlook in Windows 7?
Thanks.
The version of Windows is irrelevant. All Windows versions of Outlook connect to Exchange via MAPI (unless of course you're using Outlook Anywhere, POP, or IMAP).
Earlier versions of Mac Outlook (certain versions of Entourage) used WebDAV via the Exchange virtual directory. Later versions of Entourage/Outlook 2011 starting using EWS.
Outlook for Windows isn't capable of this (as far as I know) but why would you want it to? MAPI works well and accessing mail via EWS is more taxing on your Exchange server.

I am trying to create an Outlook add-in with the onSend function. I can see on the GitHub onSend Tutorial that onSend is only supported on Outlook web and 365. Has this been updated now (the readme is 2 years old)? I am trying to debug mine on Outlook desktop 2016 (using Visual Code + Edge extension) and the debugger never reaches the function I created and that is supposed to be reached during the onSend event.
If still not supported, can I still deploy this add-in via 365 (admin) and get it reflected on Outlook desktop 2016?
Thank you very much.
The On-Send feature is supported by the desktop editions of Outlook for Windows. Make sure you deal with the supported version of Windows, Exchange server, Outlook. Read more about that in the On-send feature for Outlook add-ins article.
OnSend is not supported in Outlook Desktop 2016.
We have an add-in that works fine on Outlook for mac but not on windows for IMAP (Gmail) accounts.
Is the setup different to how the IMAP is configured on MAC and Windows?
Mac Version - 16.41 (20091302)
Win Version - 16.0.13127.20402
This is an issue because a lot of our users are unable to use the add-in when they have multiple accounts in Outlook on windows (of which most are IMAP - Gmail)
I would have thought it would be other way around where Add-ins would be available on Windows and not on Mac since a lot other things are not supported on Mac within outlook.
Are there settings that can be changed to make them available on windows or of anyone knows about this being available in the future?
----------------- UPDATE --------------------
Mac Version - 16.42 (20101102)
So, this morning 19th Oct, 2020. I got an Outlook Update for mac and as per the screenshot below, you can clearly see that I am using a Google Account (IMAP) and the add-ins are availanle.
Outlook Web Add-Ins are only supported on Outlook accounts connected to an Exchange server. Further documentation here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/add-in-requirements
I have installed & configured the Dynamics 365 app for Outlook with my v9 Org. I have Office 2016 Professional Plus with latest updates.
It's totally working fine in OWA but not even started working on my Laptop Outlook. This is even listed as a known issue, but it says "frequently", for me always.
I have troubleshooted with the help of below links but no luck:
Blog & Community
Anybody know some extra troubleshooting steps to solve this?
Our environment is having some limitations like 3rd party encryption called Vaultive & then Oauth was not enabled which is a prerequisite for App for Outlook it seems in desktop client (for OWA it's not required just federation is fine).
We are able to sort out these things after MS support ticket & deep internal analysis. Now its working.
Can we deploy outlook web-addins for O365 accounts using centralized deployment as described here ?
Three/Four months before, if I tried to install outlook add-in using this method, installation itself would fail. Now, I don't get any errors while installing, but the add-in does not appear in Outlook clients (Outlook 2016 in Windows and OWA in browsers).
Are centralized deployments supported for Outlook add-ins now? Also, are there any client side requirements? I found some related information here. But I am doubtful if it is up-to date.
Thanks for the query bala. Centralized deployment for Outlook add-ins is not supported as of now and will come very soon. There are no specific client requirements other than minimum requirements for add-ins.
I want to develop all-in-one add-in for Outlook. This means that this add-in will be available for all Outlook clients (desktop, web).
I read here that i can do this. I already created add-in for Outlook Web Application and tried to deploy it to desktop client, but didn't figure how to make it. So how to make it set on desktop and outlook.com? Is that really possible? And if yes, how it can be done?
Technically you can't make an add-in that will work 100% on all clients. The web-based add-ins currently only work with Mailboxes hosted on Office 365 or Exchange 2013 or greater, and with Outlook 2013 or greater. Outlook.com integration is coming this spring. COM/desktop add-ins work with Outlook 2000-2016, but not in OWA.
To deploy an add-in you need to either publish it to the Office Store or an Exchange Server. See here for more info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp123515.aspx.
To install a self-published add-in that is not in the Office Store you just add the manifest file from the "Manage add-ins" page in OWA: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142256.aspx
Note also that you must host your web add-in code in your own web server, and secured with an SSL certificate.
