Outlook office.js add-in On Send event for PC client - is it possible?

As the title mentions, I've got a question regarding the possibility of implementing the on send event functionality on the outlook PC client.
I current got an add-in running that blocks sending emails on the outlook WEB variant properly and allows sending them when the criteria is met. I've used the examples the microsoft documentation provides to get it to work. This example however doesn't work on the outlook PC (windows) client. Other functionality works just fine on the outlook PC client, it's just the on send not functioning. All I get on the outlook PC client is the error "[add-in name] couldn't complete. Please try sending this message later" upon pressing send.
Been looking at this for the past few days and based on all the microsoft documentation it gives me the impression that it should be possible, but I can't find any examples online or anyone really verifying it either. Which bring us to my question as I mentioned at the start;
Is it possible to make the outlook on send event work on the outlook PC client as well? And if so, does anyone have an example of how to do so?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, the on-send feature for Outlook add-ins is supported in certain versions of Outlook win-32. There is documentation here about which versions are supported and some code examples.
I managed to fix my issue.
So to recap; when running the nodejs server locally, the on send didn't appear to work for the outlook pc client. (It did for outlook web)
What I did was put the code on an external server and ran the nodejs. Then I created an IIS website with https and redirecred it towards the localhost port of the nodejs server.
After doing this and installing the manifest through the URL the issue no longer persisted for the pc client and worked exactly the same as the outlook web variant.
I am new, so I cannot add comments - but keep in mind that if you plan to put your add-in into AppSource - the doc says it will be banned: you are not allowed to use the OnSend event for anything in there.
I hope this helps you avoid some pain if you had those plans!
" Important. Add-ins that use the on-send feature aren't allowed in AppSource. "

On-premise Chatbot unable to receive msg from Teams

We have set up the following network:
chatbot setup
Our internal chatbot is written in C#, and runs in .NET core linux env.
As of now, we are able to use the Bot Framework's Web Cmd to Send and Receive from our Internal Chatbot. But we are unable to use MS Teams to communicate with our Internal Chat Bot. We have set up App ID and App Password in the MS Team's App via App Studio.
We also enabled External App and Sideloading.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this? or is there something we may have missed?
Thanks in advance
As per this documentation, You need to also enable the Teams channel for your bot in the Azure Portal under Bot Management > Channels, for this to work.

MS Office Mobile Service (OMS) for Outlook connection error

I developed an OMS web service by following guidelines at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff606754.aspx.
Whenever I tried to configure the SMS account in Outlook I get following error.
"Outlook did not receive a response from the Web service because of a problem connecting to the server. try again later."
Although it does create the account, and whenever I try to send sms the same error occurs but I receive the sms as well. That means outlook can send the message to my web service but why it is giving error?
Searched a lot on this topic but no one seems to have a solution.
Greatly appreciate if someone could help.
Thanks in advance.

Windows server 2008 SMTP service using for website

I am working on .net applicaton that need to send emails to clients. I am trying to figure out what would be that best solution to send emails. Here is what i have considered. Could you please suggest what would be the best way to go for?
1>Windows server 2008 in built smtp
service.
2>Exchange server hosted in our
datacenter.
3>Use google apps for sending
emails(Basically same as gmail like
for custom domain).
I have explored all options and below are findings.
1>I think would be way to go. Also
supports drop in directory to send
emails so can achieve disconnected
email activity.
2>Application would be tied up with
availability of exchange server and
we dont have any exchange server
support personal. Only developers
poke around in exchange server and
got it working. So if option 1 is as
good as 2 then would like to go with 1.
Is there any drop in directory feature in exchange server like 1?
3>Tried gmail smtp stuff didnt
work. I was receiving timeout error.
Also there is no guarantee that
gmail will send our mail
reliability. They can decide anytime
to stop sending our mails as we are
using free standard version of
google apps.
Other questions:
I installed smtp service in windows server 2008. Now to use this do i need to change any MX record and anything? What i need to do so it can send email using my domain name. Or it can send email for any domain?
I would use a hybrid of 1 and 2. Use local SMTP, but have it relay to your exchange server. Emails will queue if it can't relay to exchange and you have one server(s) that handle all of your outgoing/incoming mail. This support doc explains this setup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303734
You only need an MX record if you'll be receiving mail from that domain too.
I would also put in a reverse DNS entry for your domain, which will help with spam detection.
