hi Mr. Jie nice !
ofter completing the gmail api I was thinking about this to send gmail and see and get email using outlook

[fluffykitties]

is there any way to have outlook do an email "push" so that we get a signal when email arrives, rather than polling every so often to see if there are new emails?

Hi, It might be a dumb question, how the app which you registered in azure portal has email already integrated ?
