Meghana-MSFT - Thanks for the confirmation from the Outlook team.
Can you please provide an example to perform this in the SDK approach if I have an ItemID that I can pass to an API and let the browser open the Outlook window in Compose mode ?

maheshkumaryu - Could you please check the below samples that show how to call the compose deeplink

this is a good and expected Compose deeplink

this is a good and expected Read deeplink

https://outlook-sdf.office.com/mail/deeplink/?ItemID=AAkALgAAAAAAHYQDEapmEc2byACqAC-EWg0APEbLv6Yv6EeyxJvIc4bM0wAFwDpyaQAA

this is a little bit of a mix-and-match and ... not quite right. you're likely to run into some unexpectedness with this link

Could you please use the correct compose deeplink syntax and confirm if that helps?

Meghana-MSFT none of these links work anymore. Outlook 365 opens and just shows the loading icon.
