Re: How to add button on Mail editor which is not outlook.??

If you add user interface to WordMail it will be there unless you handle the Word.WindowActivate event and check for window.EnvelopeVisible. If true it's a mail item, if false it's a Word item. You can use that to disable/enable your UI or to make it visible/invisible.

You also have to be careful in how you add your UI so it doesn't show up in Normal.dot and be there in all Word documents even if Outlook isn't running. You have to set the CustomizationContext where you want the UI created and set CustomizationContext.Saved = True after you add and delete your UI so the user doesn't get prompted to save Normal.dot.

You may also have to account for multiple open WordMail Inspectors and use unique Tag properties for each piece of UI you create so you can identify which instance of your UI to enable/disable. Seeing multiple instances of your UI is as bad as not seeing it when appropriate or seeing it when not appropriate.
