Outlook webmail slugs
You're referring to the "slug" or "short URL" feature in Outlook Web Mail!
In Outlook Web Mail, a slug is a shortened URL that is generated for each email message. This slug is used to create a unique and concise link to the email message, making it easier to share or bookmark.
Here's how to access the slug in Outlook Web Mail:
- Log in to your Outlook Web Mail account.
- Open the email message you want to generate a slug for.
- Click on the three dots (⋯) at the top right corner of the message window.
- Select "Get link" from the dropdown menu.
- A new window will open with the email message's slug URL. This URL is the shortened version of the email message's permalink.
The slug URL is in the format: https://outlook.office.com/owa/?ItemID={guid}&View=Read
Where {guid}
is a unique identifier for the email message.
You can use this slug URL to share the email message with others, or bookmark it for easy access later.
