I am working on an outlook addin which needs to get the attachments for the mail. I am using office.js and the following code to fetch the mail item.
Office.onReady( () => {
currentMailItem = Office.context.mailbox.item;
const subject = currentMailItem.subject; // works fine;
const attachments = currentMailItem.attachments;
//returns empty array for gmail configured in outlook
//----- more code -------
}
Everything works as expected for outlook mails. I am able to access the properties such as subject, cc , bcc etc for outlook mails. But when I configured gmail inside outlook in mac , it fails to fetch the gmail attachments. Rest of the details ( subject, cc etc ) are available for use.
Is there any limitation on attachments in gmail ? or am I missing some additional steps to access gmail attachments configured inside outlook mail in mac?
Outlook web add-ins works for the Exchange accounts only. Non-exchange backed accounts are not supported.
Typically an array of AttachmentDetails objects is returned as the attachments property of an appointment or message item.
// The following code builds an HTML string with details
// of all attachments on the current item.
var item = Office.context.mailbox.item;
var outputString = "";
if (item.attachments.length > 0) {
for (i = 0 ; i < item.attachments.length ; i++) {
var attachment = item.attachments[i];
outputString += "<BR>" + i + ". Name: ";
outputString += attachment.name;
outputString += "<BR>ID: " + attachment.id;
outputString += "<BR>contentType: " + attachment.contentType;
outputString += "<BR>size: " + attachment.size;
outputString += "<BR>attachmentType: " + attachment.attachmentType;
outputString += "<BR>isInline: " + attachment.isInline;
}
}
console.log(outputString);
