Outlook mail : option to change mail subject color using vsto

Question

I have couple of doubts regarding Outlook addIns.

1. I created a ribbon for Outlook application using VSTO. While sending the mail i call some API and make some db entries. I keep the mail in inbox even after i sent the mail. Now i need an option to change the color of that message subject (like indication this is already send. eg : unread mail subject is in bold ) Is there any way that i can achieve this ?

2. The ribbon i created is showing under Add-ins menu. i wated to show this in Home itself. I tried tab idMso="TabHome", TabMail etc but its not working (i am using office 2010)

Answer 1

You would need to modify the view setting based on some condition - look at an existing Outlook views that bold the unread messages and display overdue messages in red.
