Is there any way to delete inbox email in outlook by using officeJS Add-in?

Solution approach for implementing delete functionality for inbox email in outlook by using officeJS Add-in.

Answer 1

Web add-ins work under the context of currently selected/opened item in Outlook. It is not designed to delete or create items - you will not find any methods for that in the Office JavaScript API. Instead, you may consider using Graph API or EWS, see Call web services from an Outlook add-in for more information.

You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team goes through the planning process.
