I just created a workflow that uses Applescript to switch folders in Outlook. @giovanni, If you (or anyone) would like to incorporate it into something else, you're welcome to do so. I'm afraid that this is about the extent of my abilities so I may not be of much help with issues.

This is very good and useful. Thank you for sharing. 

 

Is it possible to also navigate to Groups or Smart Folders in similar manner?

@artiman are you able to see your messages with olk?

Hi @giovanni. Seems like you have figured out workflows with Outlook pretty well. Could you possibly add a workflow that opens the calendar in a new window? I have been trying for a while and nothing seems to be working.

Oh I finally figured it out. I never thought of using an Apple Script. 

Here it is if anyone wants to use it:
 

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

activate

set theMainWindow to make new main window

set view of main window 1 to calendar view

end tell

So I have the same issue as @Marlouis. It almost feels like my instance of Outlook isn't "open" for this workflow to interact with. 

 

Here's the debug when I try -olk:

I hope you can take a look @giovanni

@Dorv happy to help. A couple of questions:

first, can you confirm that you are using the older ('Legacy') version of Outlook?

second: are these real emails or tests? The first seems to be from 'None' to 'None' 

third: when you use `em`, do you get an error or is a draft created?
