Hello, One of the alternatives to integrate with Office is the use of the COM interface. There is an implementation in https://github.com/tesonep/pharo-com. In the test package, there are examples to integrate with Word, Excell, Internet Explorer, and Access. Integration with Outlook can be done in the same fashion. It is good that the API of all the Office products is heavily documented.
You can get more information about how to use Outlook here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/overview/outlook/object-model If you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers, Pablo.
