How can I generate a link to a specific email?

I am looking to get the permalink for an email in Outlook. I used to use an app that had a permalink button that would copy the permalink. I am surprised Outlook has not done this yet!

Outlook is unable to do it and it assume never will. You can turn your mail into a task and will then find the link to the E-Mail in Microsoft Tasks (I use ToDoist for that). But a simpe right-click on an E-Mail and something like "Get Link" in the context menu (just as OneNote can do it) is unlikely to ever happen.

The reason for that is that the Outlook Team at Microsoft is far from reality and focuses on "important" features such as joyful animations if the message contains 'Happy Birthday'. I guess, you can't have both and they obviously have their priorities!

I'm copying the URL Outlook website provides, but when clicking the link to once again open that particular email, it just opens the inbox.

Please requesting assistance, as having a URL to address is a quicker way to reference or find it, than to use the search tool box.

thanks!

My goal was to send an approval request and include a link in the approval details. Reviewers can access the email directly in their web browser by clicking the link in the approval request.

I achieved this via MSFT Automate.

1. I used the Send an HTTP request action in Automate
2. URI is something like https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user_email_address}/messages/{email_message_id}
3. Method is GET
4. I used the body('Send_an_HTTP_request')?['weblink'] expression to get the weblink for that specific email.

Couple of things I observed.

1. For anyone to see the email, anyone should also have at least read permission on that Inbox. You can do this via Outlook web or desktop.
2. For me {user_email_address} is my service email address, I had to allow members of the on-prem distribution list for which I was building the process read permissions on my Inbox.
3. At the least I had to convert the distribution list to a mail enabled security group before I could grant them read permission access on Outlook Web

After a lot of research I found this post and it worked outstandingly well for me. Thank you!

The only solytion I have found to that problem is :

1. Choose the "Send to Onenote" option for the email you want.
2. Go to the new note that has been created in the Onenote. There, within the new note, you will see the "link to outlook" option.
3. Put your mouse on that link , press Ctrl +K and get the link you are looking for from the window that will open.
4. Then , optially , you can delete the note on the Onenote.

Thanks @MrjB_79 That "link to outlook" was exactly what I was looking for. It's a shame you can't get this directly from the Outlook app. Why go through the hassle of sending it to OneNote, copying the link, deleting the note, then pasting the link where you want it.
*facepalm*.
