Integration between Microsoft Outlook and Confluence

Alyson Reis July 20, 2018

Hello,

I want to have a .msg file attached to a page and when the user clicks on it, it opens the message directly in outlook. Is there a plugin/macro that offers this functionality?

Thanks!

Hello Alyson,

I don't have .msg files or Outlook to test this with, but can you check if the MIME type in the attachment properties was set to application/vnd.ms-outlook msg?  In that case would it open in Outlook?

I also found a few feature requests in my research, these might be useful for you since you use .msg files in your Confluence instance.

Regards,

Shannon

Hi, I am running into the same issue.  The .msg files are set to the Outlook application, but Confluence wants to download them instead of opening them up.  Has anyone come up with a solution that works?

Thanks in advance!

Hi John,

Thank you for following-up on this thread. To be honest, it was just an idea I had to test, but if it's not working for you then I would recommend that you vote on one of the feature requests I mentioned. This will ensure it is compatible with Confluence in the future.

Let me know if you have any questions about that!

Regards,

Shannon
