I tried out this demo as well. I am using Outlook 2007 and the Demo did not add any menu item to the folders context menu (using Delphi 2006).

Any idea what might have gone wrong? Is that Demo compatible to Outlook 2007?

I tried the the following demo too:
http://www.add-in-express.com/files/adxht-010-d5-7.zip

This demo works fine and adds some menu items to the context menu of mail items. How can I extend this demo to work with folders as well?

Thanks
Andrei

Hi Andrei,

You can use the TadxOutlookAppEvents.OnFolderContextMenuDisplay event instead of CommandBars.OnUpdate in Outlook 2007.
