How can I generate a link to a specific email?

I am also looking for exactly the same ... is there any update?

Best way (for me) 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.

Thanks for the suggestion that might work for you, but:
A) Step 9 . Right clicking the 'Open > " icon does not work for me in the ToDo app or the "Open in Outlook > " icon in the ToDo pane of the New Outlook app. I can only left click which opens the email in a new window with no way to get a URL

B) That's a helluva lot of steps just to get a URL. It might have been good as an interim workaround but doesn't change the need for a more direct way to generate a permalink to an email.

This method works only in outlook on the web and in classic outlook, not in thw new outlook.

Best method is sending the email to onenote and from there you get the link.
