Creating an email and saving as a draft with send to email address populated

a026833 — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 18:57:22 GMT

Hello,

I found old notes from 2020 but thought I would check in as things have changed. My user would like me to draft emails and save them as .msg files so he can review before sending out. We have version 10.4.5 of Outlook VBO and I see a "Save As" page however it it looking to save an email that was already read versus one that is being created, as it has an entry ID as input. Any suggestion on how to accomplish this.

Thank You

June

I figured out using older post, I took the "Send Email" page and copied into a different VBO. I then remove the "send" from the code and changed the "Save" to a "SaveAs" and added an input value for the location:

Hello @a026833 - thats the way to do it.

also, i raised an idea (link below)7 month back to add this feature in Outlook [ Legacy and Graph API] VBO. DX team has moved the idea to planned state. so lets hope it will be delivered soon.
