NewInspector is not a good event in which to create CommandBar UI. Depending
on the Outlook version and whether it's a WordMail object or not the
CommandBars collection of the Inspector may or may not be completely
instantiated in that event handler. In Outlook 2007 you explicitly get a
weak object reference to Inspector in NewInspector, in which many properties
of the Inspector or Inspector.CurrentItem aren't fully exposed to you yet.

I always create any UI for an Inspector in the first Inspector.Activate()
event that fires. At that time all UI elements are fully instantiated and
exposed to you.

Hi,

In was trying to add button in inspector window. I
used
.InspectorsEvents_NewInspectorEventHandler(myInspe ctors_NewInspector);
event and in this event I called a wrapper class where I configured
ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(myMailItem_Open);

In this event I tried to create a button.

The problem over here is the button does not get created. However,
when I click on reply to this mail a new inspector is opened up where
I can reply to my mail and then a button on the reading inspector is
added.

I do not understand why this is happening.
