Outlook Express & Windows Mail Plugin Development

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

Windows Live Mail® is a worse case than the previous email clients, it lacks of any public interfaces.

We have developed a large number of different addons and created a variety of products in this complex scenario.

This is why we are the leading developers in OE, WinMail and Windows Live Mail plugins and products.

Our deep knowledge of undocumented functions makes us the best choice for these applications.

Areas where we have delivered solutions:

• Tailored toolbar controls.
• List view / Tree view customization.
• Context menu customization.

Case Study

GDX plugin for Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Outlook

The GDX plugin consists of a complex development to include a Trusted Contacts list inside Microsoft's most popular email clients.

Email messages from trusted contacts are marked with a custom icon, thus assuring that those emails come from trusted contacts and that are not spam.

The Trusted Contacts list shows user presence status (I.E. Online, Offline, Blocked and Away).

Selecting a contact displays a complete set of online & offline contact information on the tab below.

The Attachments tab shows a record of attachments history from emails sent to and received from the selected contact.

The plugin also provides the Drop Box feature, for handy file transfers between users through a file transfer server.
