Hello,
I have several standard message templates that I currently access from the Home ribbon by clicking New Items->More Items-Choose Form. In the Choose Form dialog I change Look in to User Templates in File System and I can choose the template I want.
How do I do the same in New Outlook?
Thanks,
Paul

Paul,
I just stumbled on this Youtube video, 11 Must-Know OUTLOOK Tips and Tricks For PRODUCTIVITY. Tip #5 (4:34) is email templates. Lea David saves a template to her desktop and then opens it when she wants to use it again. I hope this helps!
Sorry Paul. I thought you were responding to another one of my posts. No wonder it didn't make sense to me! I don't think you can do what you're wanting to do in the new Outlook. I used to use templates to respond to emails that arrived in my inbox. For a while I flipped the toggle switch back to the old version just to use that template. Now, I use a form created in Word and when an item arrives in an outlook folder Power Automate kicks off, uses the information from the email, fills that form and then emails the response. I miss the ease of templates too.
How do you use Power Automate in place of the forms?
Thank you for your post. I don't use templates as they usually only offer the simplest access to calendars and do not connect to group calendars. In this particular instance, I used a group HTTP request. This allows me to add an event to a group calendar and set parameters that Create an event does not offer. Also, I have never had a problem reading or writing to any calendar whether it was desktop or web based.
The "my templates" in the New outlook only works on the Outlook application that you download, it DOES NOT work on Outlook when you open it through Google Chrome. Create a New Mail and you shall see an "My templates" icon appear in the layout pane above, image attached. This is only applicable for the downloaded new Outlook software not on google chrome. Hope this helps!
