- What we are doing is creating a test message and saving as eml file. When this file is opened and then replied to using the script the original sent date in the header that now shows in message body gets changed to the current date/time. This only happens in Outlook 2016 and 2019.
- Set preferences for the new Outlook for Mac. Administrators and other IT professionals can plan, implement, and maintain deployments of the new Outlook for Mac with a standard set of preferences described in the Office for Mac admin deployment guide.
- When switching from Outlook on Windows to Mac, I missed my quick actions. I'm trying to find a way to have them back as they are not implemented in the Mac app. I got this so far, it is working cor.
I recently updated my Mac to OS X Sierra and decided to test the AppleScript in Outlook Mac 2016, the script that converts e-mails to tasks. I had to reinstall it, but it is definitely working now. I placed my updated instructions for getting it installed at the old article about this capability, at this link.

This only happens in Outlook 2016 and 2019. Outlook 2011 keeps the original date and time. Test 1 using Outlook 2016 or 2019. Create a simple email in Outlook with subject as test, body as test, and to address to yourself. Send the message, if used yourself the message should come into your inbox as a new message. I would like set up an inbound rule in Outlook to run applescript on certain messages. However the rule fails with the following message: While processing message 'Test' (ID 39523), the rule 'untitled' could not be successfully executed.

When Outlook for Mac 2011 was released in 2010, it shipped with an AppleScript installed that converted e-mails to tasks. It was (and still is) the only way to convert e-mails to tasks on the Mac version of Outlook. The drag and drop functionality of Windows Outlook is not present on the Mac. Using the script does not pick up attachments, but otherwise seems to work.

In 2011, Microsoft stopped delivering that script with most Outlook for Mac installs. But if you copied the script from somewhere else and installed it in the right script folder, it would work.
Then in 2014 I think it was (I cannot remember), with an OS X update, all script capabilities on Outlook were blocked “for security reasons.” In the years after that some people were able to hack it in, but we didn’t support that.

So it’s good to see that the capability is back. Again, instructions for getting it installed are at my old article about this capability at this link.
