Hi,
I'm new to this so I hope that someone could give me a hint (a link
perharps) on how I should proceed.

I want to create a plugin to Outlook, lets say a new toolbar with some new
buttons and an extra entry in the Edit menu. Does anyone have a link which
explains how I should do this, or perhaps some simple source code which
explains the idea?

Thanks,
Mats-Lennart

Download the ItemsCB COM addin sample written in VB 6 from the Resources
page at www.microeye.com It has best practices for Outlook addins and shows
how to create toolbars and buttons. You can use that project as a base for
your own addin.
