Customize Outlook ribbon for a MailItem (via menus or VBA)

Outlook has one ribbon displayed when the email index is shown, and a different ribbon when a MailItem is open. I managed to add buttons to the Miscellaneous group in the ribbon for the index, via File -> Options.

Can I customize the ribbon for a MailItem via File -> Options?

Can I do this via VBA? Can this VBA be executed automatically at launch time?

Solution

  • I managed to do it via File -> Options. It was very simple, I had to access File -> Options from within the MailItem instead of the main window.

    As per this, it apparently cannot be done via VBA.
