Mailto URIs for Outlook Web App not working
Hi all,
I have been trying to get mailto links working correctly with OWA but to no success. For it to work, I need to know how to "deeplink" into a new OWA email draft.
I previously used the following, but it stopped working around a week ago:
I've tried these other patterns, but to no success:
https://outlook.live.com/mail/action/compose?to=email address removed for privacy reasons
https://outlook.live.com/mail/action/compose?mailtouri=email address removed for privacy reasons
Does anyone know what the schema is for outlook's deeplinking to create an email draft?
- Sounds like you've already tried a bunch of stuff. I did some searching around and it seems like sometimes changes are made to the way these things work, which might explain why your old link isn't working anymore.
Have you tried using a different browser? Sometimes that can make a difference.- Thanks. Yeah I have tried other browsers but the issue remains.
Following this link (https://outlook.live.com/mail/action/compose?to=EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE) does open a draft email, but none of the mailto parameters (to, cc, bcc, subject, body) carry over to the draft email, which is essentially blank.- Have you solved this problem? I have the same issue
- In my case when I touch a mailto link such as
mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons
mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons?subject=xxxxxxx
I get
email address removed for privacy reasons [undefined:email address removed for privacy reasons]
I always have to edit the address manually
When I open it in gmail it works
When I open it in outlook it always fail. Same result in chrome web browser or outlookweb app
