We currently have a java/jsp online web service that includes it's own custom calendar. I am trying to do some research into the possibility of connecting it to a users outlook. Our basic needs that are most simple is some way to sent the person a meeting request that can be added to their outlook from our service.
I know the ideal solution is to sync back and forth but simply being able to import the data from our calendar into someone's outlook would be sufficient.
Does anyone have any resources they can point me to that might help with information gathering, or any example/comments?
Here is a sample to sync calendars using javascript,ie and ActiveX

I found a simple solution to getting what we needed. Outlook can email an event invite, I had one emailed to me... then copied the format of the email and just have the system sending event invites as emails. That is sufficient for our needs.

I am trying to trigger an external API when i reply to an email coming from a specific sender. To describe the use case , we have an internal platform where people ask specific questions and experts answer them similar to stack overflow.
We want to enable a outlook feature for experts answering questions which would enable the expert to reply to an email notification (coming from the platform) and when he hits send the action would be to call the POST end point for the platform which create a new reply on the original post.
I have looked at Microsoft flow and EWS API but i could not find exactly what I was looking for. I can create custom connectors which would trigger an action when a new email comes in the inbox. But , there was no flow which would trigger an action when you reply to a specific email.
I am looking for some help on what can be done and which APIs/tools can be used to achieve what we are looking for.
Thanks
One option is to use the "on send" capability for Outlook web add-ins, but you are limited to supporting only Outlook Online as it doesn't currently support Outlook for Windows and Mac (and you can't publish the add-in to the Office Store).
The best choice would be to develop a COM add-in where you will have full control over the reply and send events, and the opportunity to cancel or delay those events while you make your web requests.
An outside option is to use Graph delta queries to look for new items in the user's Sent Items folder to detect these send operations. There are similar capabilities in EWS with notification subscriptions and transport agents.
In our case what worked best was using Graph Delta Queries. Since the "on send" capability was limited and outlook web add-in was restricted for our corp outlook.
The solution that worked for us was setting up a separate email address for monitoring all the replies that would go out to our API. Then using graph delta queries we would get the latest emails since the inbox was last synced. The response from the query would be processed and after body is extracted POSTing it to our API with the body as the request body
I'm working on an app that lets users submit orders, and also make custom orders where they upload an image. I then want to receive all this information by email. Initially, I was using JavaMail API with Gmail, but I heard that it can cause a blocking of the account due to "Suspicious Activity". Apparently a way around this is to use the Amazon SES SMTP server, but with that I cannot seem to find any documentation whatsoever on sending emails with attachments for Android (there is one but it's for general Java and it does not work on Android).
There must be a better way to to do this, I'm just not sure where to start looking. This is my first dev project (I'm in my 2nd year of computer science), so I'm pretty green with this stuff. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be so grateful. I'm open to learning new things, I'm just not even sure about what I need to learn in the first place for this.
your email will be blocked if you are sending emails in huge amount like hundreds of email in a second if you are not sending email in such amount so don't worry about getting blocked and if you are sending in email in such amount then you can take external email service theirs a lot of marketing via email services i hope this might help
I have developed an android app and almost done with it, but I'm stuck with the mail option. I want to set an auto send option for my mail, through which it sends an email by the end of the day. Can anyone please give me a hint or link of any example for that kind of coding.
Check the following link for sending the email How to send a simple email programatically? (exists a simple way to do it??)
And schedule an alarm using AlarmManager to fire at the end of the day and there you can send the mail...
I would suggest you look into the JavaMail API - there are also a number of similar questions here on SO to get you started:
See this answer
It this possible or is there an API for this? From Novell's website, there's a GroupWise API, but I don't see any methods for sending instant messages, only e-mails.
I simply want to create a Java program that will send an instant message to someone who's online using Novell GroupWise Messenger.
I am told it is possible to get access to a limited API, but requires signing an NDA.
If you look on this page, you can find contact info and I can put you in touch with the appropriate people to get started on that path.
Can an app send an email without opening the email interface? How?
Simple Answer:
Its pretty easy to write an SMTP client yourself. See a sample here:
http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/android-send-email-via-gmail-actually-via-smtp/
Elaborate Answer:
If you want to write a full featured mail client supporting SMTP, POP, IMAP etc then you should look at the android mail client source code:Email app source
I'm 98% sure that they only way you can do this is to write your own SMTP client and point it at a SMTP server you have a valid account on (or is open for relay). ie, you can't use the standard email app or gmail to do this.
My answer is probably a few months too late for you Mubix, but maybe someone else can benefit from it. I've seen many people refer to this tutorial which shows how to send an email when a button is clicked within your app.
