Microsoft Office Outlook has a number of command-line switches that allow you to perform a variety of actions. One very useful example of this is the /recycle switch, which was introduced as a default in Outlook 2010. In previous versions, if a user already had an instance of Outlook open and clicked the Outlook icon again, it would open another instance. With the /recycle option, it checks for a current instance of Outlook and if it exists, brings it to the front instead of opening another. Below you will find a number of other useful switches that can be used for efficiency or troubleshooting.
Creates an item with the specified file as an attachment.
Example:
If no item type is specified, IPM.Note is assumed. Cannot be used with message classes that are not based on Outlook.
Opens the VBA program specified in otmfilename, instead of %appdata%\microsoft\outlook\vbaproject.otm.
Note This command line switch is only available if the following Windows registry DWORD value is set to 1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security\EnableAltVba
Creates a new item of the specified message class (Outlook forms or any other valid MAPI form).
Examples:
Provides a way for the user to add an e-mail name to the item. Only works together with the /c command-line parameter.
Starts Outlook and starts the following commands on the default mailbox:
Note This is the same command as Upgrade to Color Categories in each Outlook mailbox properties dialog box.
Resets default folder names (such as Inbox or Sent Items) to default names in the current Office user interface language.
For example, if you first connect to your mailbox in Outlook by using a Russian user interface, the Russian default folder names cannot be renamed. To change the default folder names to another language, such as Japanese or English, you can use this switch to reset the default folder names after you change the user interface language or install a different language version of Outlook.
