Produce a web based version to work with New Outlook.

MS New Outlook no longer works with the old com add-ins in outlook. They need to be web based and ideal available through the MS catalogue.

    My UK based client has asked what is happening in this space. Would be good to have a suitable approach for this with newer versions of Office.

    This should seriously be investigated. This is impact to user experience and taking a step back while everything else moves forward is non-sensical. Please fix this.

    Yes please, much needed. Outlook shows the "Try the new Outlook button".
    Very inviting for users... 
    Once they click on that the NMO Plugin no longer works and they have to revert back.
