thanks! it does work this way.
i am not sure if it's directly related but there's a weird issue. once
i have a link to an email, i can open it by c-c c-o only once. any
following attempt just fails with a message: "org-mac-link: error could
not find outlook message <msgid>" where msgid is the id of the
message. when i ran the mdfind command that i found in the source in the
terminal, it again worked once only. any subsequent attempt opens a
finder window. very very odd behavior since i am not even modifying the
email in anyway (other than just opening it) that might change its
message id or something.
It has definitely worked for the same message multiple times for me (even after changing a message by moving it, etc.). Since the Org mac Outlook interface uses Spotlight indexing, and Spotlight uses the loose messages in the Microsoft User Data folder, maybe rebuilding one or both of the Outlook profile or the Spotlight index would fix your issues? |
