Outlook custom buttons in ribbon

I can use custum ui editor for Excel and Word VBA projects to add custom buttons on the ribbon with XML.

I have an Outlook-project (VBAProject.otm) and would like to do the same thing, to add buttons to the ribbon so when I'm deploying the custom buttons move with it.

I don't wont to use VSTO, only VBA.

Any suggestions?

Unlike other Office applications, in Outlook VBA macros can't be used for customizing the ribbon UI. You need to develop a COM add-in (for example, a VSTO based one). Take a look at the following articles:

The Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) is described in depth in the following series of articles:
