Yes, you can automate Outlook from JavaScript. See Compose and Send E-mail from JavaScript by using Outlook Automation 2007 for a sample code.

Can we directly open a desktop application on a button click event from React application? I need to open a locally installed software project file to launch in desktop mode. I have an .aprx file to launch ArcGIS Pro software which I am trying to invoke from front end.
Tried to code using anchor link, but encountered error saying "Not allowed to load local resource" !
Thanks,
Paul
Tried to invoke the .aprx file using full local path but failed.
Nope, that isn't possible due to various security restrictions. However, if the application handles custom URL schemes (e.g. some-app://a-resource), you can redirect to those URLs which would open a browser prompting the user for confirmation if they'd like to open the application. That's the approach that web apps like Word online use to make the "open in desktop app" work.

I assume what you really want to do is connect to the Exchange mail server and send the message without using the Outlook client application. As long as your Exchange server has SMTP support enabled, you should be able to do that using JavaMail. There's documentation, sample programs, and a FAQ. Start at the JavaMail project page.
We need to have the functionality of users running excel reports from a silverlight application. The application will show data from the server and upon clicking a button users should see an excel report from the data in their client machines. We can't make the original application out of browser so I am looking for options.
I am thinking of creating an out of browser application which can invoke excel in the client machine. Our original application just have to download and install the out of browser application with user permissions. Also I need to pass the data for the excel report from the in-browser application to the OOB applications.
Is it possible? If it is, is there any help available how to do this?
The only thing that comes to mind is to popup another browser window from your in-browser Silverlight application and then offer excel file download to the client. By default this dialog offers Open option as well and that could solve your problem. That's how I solved excel report download from SSRS in my Silverlight application.
It is possible to let users download data as CSV files from the browser, which will open in Excel for most users.
You can also copy delimited text to the user's clipboard using Clipboard.SetText which the user can then paste into a running instance of Excel.
Another option would be to use a server-side service to generate an Excel document and have the Silverlight application show a hyperlink to the document.

I need to get information from Microsoft Outlooks calendar to show it on calendar application which I made with Silverlight.
I can get all needed information with Silverlight 4 but in trusted mode and my application must be installed on users computer and work as Desctop application.
But I need for my application to work on browser.
Is it possible or the only way is using it as Desctop application?
Thanks.
No, you can't. The best that you can do is to create a web service to communicate with Silverlight and then an Outlook add-in to communicate with that web service.
I did it with WebDav server. I published my calndar to WebDav server. Calendar is on .ics format so I can read all information from it as with other files and then parse it.
My WCF service is on the same computer in which is WebDav so I can get all needed information with Silverlight. I decided to use this version because in this case user have no need to install .Net freamework on his computer. I also found that user can publish his calendar from internet so this version do what I need.
#Otaku thanks for your answer, it was very nice solution and it is the best version for people who can't(or don't want) use WebDav.
Here is how to publish it.
EDIT: In this case calendar opens as readonly because it located on server and cannot be synchronized with existing calendar without add-in, so #Otaku's answer is right.
My version can be used if you don't need synchronization.
