New Outlook Email Item Shortcut I am looking for a way to create a keyboard shortcut or an icon I can click on that will simply open a blank Outlook email. 

I found several solutions for Windows but I need to do this for my Mac. I've been trying a few options but none can just open a new Outlook email with one click or one keystroke.
Use an email template


Open Outlook
Create a new message (⌘ CommandN)
Immediately "Save as Template" to the Desktop (File -> Save As Template)
Shortcut will be created on your Desktop with the name &lt;no subject.emltpl&gt; rename it if you like.


Just double-click that template file every time you want to open a new email.
