Outlook 2013 - Message Windows Ribbon Customization

Hello All,

I need help from the experts ;)

I have an user on my organization that wants to customize the ribbon but I am unable to do what it wants.

The request is:

When open a received e-mail, he wants to have an icon on the ribbon that Will open his own calendar to check his availabilty.

Thanks

The request is:

When open a received e-mail, he wants to have an icon on the ribbon that Will open his own calendar to check his availabilty.

As far as I know, this is not possible via Outlook build-in feature. Here are some workarounds we can use:

  • Read emails in Reading Pane and enable To-Do Bar Calendar. (View tab > To-Do Bar > Calendar)
  • Before handling emails, open your calendar in a new Outlook window. Right-click on the calendar you want to open and select 'Open in new window'. Then, you can view your calendar in the separate window without changing your Outlook from Mail module to Calendar Module.
  • Find a third-party add-in to achieve the goal.
