This is deprecated and only works for Microsoft Outlook for Mac versions <16.16.20
Enables outlook:https://msg-id
style links anywhere on OS X.
- Download the
OutlookURLHandler.app
file and place it into/Applications
- Run the application once for it to register the URL Handler
- You're all set for
outlook:https://msg-id
style links!
To be able to quickly and easily generate the links and put them in the clipboard, I created a second script, MsgLinkToClpbrd
which puts the message link that calls the handler in your clipboard.
- Download
MsgLinkToClpbrd.scpt
- Create the folder structure
/Users/your-user/Library/Scripts/Applications/Microsoft/Outlook
and place the script there - Use BetterTouchTool, FastScripts or any other tool to assign a hotkey to the script execution from within Outlook.
Now you can use direct links to your emails from anywhere on your Mac, with simple, plain-text links in the outlook:https://msg-id
notation.
