Is it possible to compose an email using OLE automation in the New Microsoft Outlook app? Earlier we were using MSOUTL.dll to compose an email (with attachments) but with the New Microsoft Outlook App the following initialization call fails.
hr = m_OutlookAppPtr.CreateInstance( __uuidof(Outlook::Application) );
It seems the new app doesn't support the functionality but I couldn't find any official documentation regarding it. Pressing Ctrl + Alt + F11 also does nothing in the new app.
