Outlook is the most popular Office application

Today, Add-in Express is used to build solutions for all Office applications. However, everything grew from a humble foundation of an internal framework for programming Outlook extensions only. Yet Outlook still remains the most featured Office application supported by Add-in Express and the most popular host application among our customers.
