I need to extend Outlook in three ways and would like to know where to start
from, and which VB to use in each case.
1) Create a new toolbar that requests data from an external server (e.g.
via buttons in a new toolbar) and show the received data in
select-boxes/list-boxes. This other server has APIs in Python or Java.
2) Create a new form to send more complex emails, with contextual
information, which is typed by the user, like normal emails, and seleced
items that came from this external server (question 1). Some data (e.g. the
address of the external server) should be sent together in the email, but
hidden in the GUI.
3) Synchronize task items with an external server that has APIs in Python or
Java. Two ways synchronization.
Thanks a lot!! Sorry for the amount of questions... Carla
 
You've omitted the most crucial factor: Are you doing this for your personal
use or as an application that other people will use? I presume it's the
latter, which means that a COM add-in written with VB is the only one of the
three choices you listed that would be appropriate.
