After the recent changes what works for me is:

https://outlook.office.com/mail/0/deeplink/compose?popoutv2=1&to=[EMAIL_ADDRESS]&subject=[SUBJECT]&body=[BODY]

Office 365 now supports composing an email using a URL:

https://outlook.office.com/?path=/mail/action/compose&[email protected]&subject=Customer Service Request&body=Add+Your+Request+here

available parameters:

  • path /mail/action/compose
  • subject Customer Service Request
  • body Add your request here
  • to [email protected]
  • cc is not supported at this point.

This extension worked for me. I just had to edit the Outlook.com url by clicking on "change" and editing it to be something like:

https://outlook.office.com/owa/?realm=example.com&rru=compose&to={to}&subject={subject}&body={body}&cc={cc}

Where example.com should be replaced by your organizations Outlook 365 domain.

I should note that I am on Debian linux with no default email client set at the moment. However, I don't see how that might have any effect as I believe this extension might be simply altering the url that is opened to go to a different url. I could be wrong about this last part since I haven't looked into the extension code.

This cannot be done without using a 3rd party app or setting OWA as the default mail agent on the client computer. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/38d11e6d-8009-4d7d-8d69-a6701860feb8/setting-up-owa-to-be-used-by-mailto-protocol
