outlook-classic-mcp v1.3.1

Added

• MCP bundle outlook-classic-mcp.mcpb with every release: open it in Claude Desktop to
  install the server as an extension.
• Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.jli-software/outlook-classic-mcp,
  published automatically with each release.

Fixed

• install.ps1 failed under PowerShell 7 with “No checksum … in SHA256SUMS”, because
  PowerShell 7 returns the checksum file as bytes. Works in 5.1 and 7 now.

outlook-classic-mcp v1.3.0

Added

• Opt-in sending: serve --allow-send (registered with install --allow-send) adds
  mail_send_draft. Without the flag the tool does not exist and sending stays off.
  mail_send_draft only sends emails and meeting responses from the Drafts folder, and
  only when every recipient resolves — otherwise nothing is sent and the unresolved
  names are listed. Running install without the flag turns sending off again.
• mail_forward: forward draft with your text above the original; HTML, signature
  and attachments of the original stay.
• Audit log: every changing action (drafts, send, forward, move, delete, categories,
  read state, folders, saved attachments, sync, calendar) is written as one JSON line
  to %LOCALAPPDATA%\outlook-classic-mcp\audit.log — time, tool, IDs, recipients,
  subject, result. Never the message text. OUTLOOK_MCP_AUDIT_LOG sets another path
  or off; the file rotates at 5 MB.
• outlook_whoami shows whether sending is on and where the audit log is.

Changed

• With sending enabled, the draft tools (mail_create_draft, mail_reply,
  mail_forward, calendar_respond) tell the assistant to send only after the user
  has confirmed the draft.
