Create emails in command line with Outlook.exe

Question

Good morning

Do you know how it is possible to create emails (with batch, powershell or VBA or other) on the command line with Outlook.exe or other emails?

I tried outlook.exe but I can't join (attach) two attachments (pdf, doc, etc)

: outlook.exe /a "file1" /a "file2" ? : outlook.exe /a "file1", "file2" ? : outlook.exe /a "file1", "file2" ?

I don't know how to create these messages in a mailbox previously created or not (drafts box) then open Outlook to go to this mailbox to check them and then send them.

Or how create ans send a message to a mailbox ( via SMTP protocol) with WINDOWS 10

Thank you for your information if you have already had to create emails quickly with a script (and text data)

Cordially

Andrew

Hi @André LE GAL,

You can use the Send-MailMessage cmdlet to send mails from within PowerShell. Per my test, multiple attachments can be included in this method.

Below is a sample code which can be run from the command prompt:

powershell send-mailmessage -to '******@contoso.com' -from '******@contoso.com' ^
-subject 'Test email' ^
-SmtpServer 'smtp.contoso.com' ^
-attachment 'file1', 'flie2'
