How to open mail app with powershell
To open the Mail app using PowerShell, you can use the following command:
start mailto:
This will open the default email client on your system, which is usually Microsoft Outlook or Windows Mail.
If you want to open a specific email client, you can specify the path to the executable. For example, to open Microsoft Outlook:
start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
Replace the path with the actual location of the Outlook executable on your system.
You can also use the start-process
cmdlet to open the Mail app:
start-process -FilePath "mailto:" -ArgumentList ""
This will also open the default email client.
Note: The start
command is used to start a process, and the mailto:
protocol is used to open the default email client. The start-process
cmdlet is a more powerful way to start a process, and it allows you to specify additional parameters and arguments.
