Outlook - Open Main window, not only new message

When Outlook is closed a.k.a. not running (ex: user forgot to open it):

If you click a mailto: link - the new-message window will apperar.

When you hit Send, the message is put in your Outbox and left there until you manually start Outlook.

Depending on when you remember to open Outlook, your message might be delayed for a long period.

...

Is it possible to force Outlook to start when a new-message window is opened?

@DianePoremskyMVP may have an idea on how to get it work the way you want.

Hi @LarsOlsen-7119
Thanks for your feedback.
As I know, it is by design and there are also some other users have the same requirement as you. I did lots of research but could not found a workaround to force Outlook to start when a new-message window is opened. If you have a demand to add this function to Outlook for Windows, you could try to vote in the Uservoice just as what I have done, Microsoft may notice it and add it in the later version.

Your information was useless, so it was a bit unlikely for it to be helpful.
