Hi team πŸ‘‹
I'm currently using the RPA.Outlook.Application library for automating email workflows. However, I've recently switched to the new Outlook for Windows, which is based on WebView2 and aligns with Outlook Web. Unfortunately, the current implementation of the library relies on COM automation, which is not supported in the new Outlook UI.

Request:
Could you please consider adding support for the new Outlook UI? This could potentially be achieved via:

Integration with Microsoft Graph API for email/calendar/contact automation.
A fallback mechanism to detect and handle both classic and new Outlook environments.

Why this matters:

Microsoft is actively promoting the new Outlook experience, and many users are migrating.
Automation workflows relying on COM are breaking or becoming obsolete.
Supporting the new UI would future-proof the library and expand its usability.
