I tried to use open application activity and start process activity in order to open outlook item.
But I could not.

Hey @takefumi.s

Start Process will work for you.

Start Process Properties:

FIleName - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.EXE" //For Outlook 2010

Change it based on your outlook version if require.

Argument - "/f D:\New\Updates.msg"

Thank you for your advice.
I tried to use your workflow.
But I could not get the link of Outlook 2016 like your FileName because I have to do under the VDI environment.

There is outlook2016 installed?

i guess your path will be
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE”

you can first check it manually as well and above mentioned approach will work.
