New Outlook 2024 do not create "email drafts" as it use to create before in classic version

Question

This Delphi code use to work before switching to new 2024 outlook version:

try

OutlookApp := GetActiveOleObject('Outlook.Application');

except

OutlookApp := CreateOleObject('Outlook.Application');

end;

try

MailItem := OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem);

MailItem.Subject := 'Email Subject Here..';

MailItem.Body := 'Email Body Here..';

_emailAddress := '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***';

MailItem.Recipients.Add(_emailAddress);

MailItem.Display();

finally

OutlookApp := VarNull;

end;

Now after switching it fails to load and does not show the draft. Error Message Shown is : 'Server execution failed, ProgID: "Outlook.Application"'.

When I switch back to classic version, it shows draft email without any issue. Basically we want Email Draft to be created when a button is clicked from UI.

How can we fix this issue in latest version of new outlook?

Answer 1

What is the application type, version, and build?

Is it the classic Outlook (Outlook 2024)?
Is it the new Outlook?

If it is the new Outlook, only web add-ins are supported.
