MORE INFORMATION
You can use a command line switch to open to a specific folder. The folder you wish to open must be within the same folder tree as your default delivery location. For instance if your default delivery location is your Mailbox, only folders under Mailbox can be opened with the switch.

To open Outlook to the default Calendar folder use the following syntax:



Outlook.exe/select outlook:calendar
