Plugin Development

Nektra offers tailored plugin development for your specific needs.

Outlook Plugin Development

Microsoft Outlook® is a powerful platform enabled to be extended with new productive functionalities.

Nektra has deployed a lot of tailored plugins to integrate Outlook® with organization processes and helped companies to release new addons to market as final products.

Outlook Express & Windows Mail

Creating plugins for Outlook Express® and Windows Mail® demands a deep knowledge of their internal behaviour. Only a part of their Application Programming Interface (API) is documented and it's difficult to find examples of how to use it.

We have developed a large number of different plugins and created a variety of products in this complex scenario. This is why we are the leaders developing Outlook Express & Windows Mail plugins.

Windows Live Mail

Windows Live Mail API is completlely undocumented. Even the public interfaces IStoreNamespace and IStoreFolder supported in both Outlook Express and Windows Mail are not present in this email client.

Windows 7® will not include Outlook Express nor Windows Mail, it's users will be forced to move to Windows Live Mail®. Your product can be one of the first addons for it!

Windows Live Messenger

The MSN Messenger Service is a widely spread instant messaging service that has over 150 million registered users worldwide and has at peak times activity of around 30 million users online. The service also includes the possibility to communicate with Yahoo! Messenger users, extending the network capability by an extra 20 million active users.

Take a look at the article on our blog about a MSN Messenger addon example.

We have also published an extensive article about Live Messenger applied research in the field of plugin development, entitled "Windows Live Messenger Plugin Development Bible" at the CodeProject website.
