How can I generate a link to a specific email?

Thanks to @DerPritz on REDDIT, I found an answer/easy workaround!

1. Outlook web email > Rightclick your email > Advanced Actions > Create Task
2. A pane opens on the right. Rightclick the email icon link on your email > Open in To Do
3. Another pane opens next to the previous one > Rightclick the Outlook icon Open link > Copy Link Address and paste it anywhere and that specifice email will open up!

Now this will create a task in your Microsoft To Do everytime, but its fine for me because I dont use To Do.

this worked for me.

Flag the email.

Open > To Do list

Select the flagged email. On the right you will see a link to open the email. You can copy and paste this link.

This worked well. It does open the email in a web browser, but I can live with that.

This works when you open To Do list from outlook classic or from outlook on the web. Not from new outlook. In new outlook you can't copy the link. You can just open it. What a mess......

Debra, you are the star of the day! Thank you!
