What are the command keys to open a 2nd MS Outlook email? I will have one open with emails and the other open with calendars so I can more quickly work tasks.

    Double-clicking your Outlook icon again doesn't work? What version of Outlook are you using? What operating system; Windows or Mac?

On Windows 7 (at least), if the Outlook icon is pinned to the taskbar, you can right-click it and select "Outlook 2013" (or whatever your version is), and a new instance of the application should open. Left-clicking the icon normally only restores/minimizes the already open instance.

  • Shift+left click = Start another instance, as mentioned by Techie007.

Assuming Windows 7 or later, and Office 2010 or later:

If you have Outlook open already you can get another instance open multiple ways:

  1. Just (double) click the Outlook icon again from your Start Menu or wherever you started the first instance from.
  2. Hold Shift while clicking the Outlook icon on the taskbar.
  3. Click the Outlook taskbar icon with your middle mouse button.
  4. Left-click the Outlook icon on your taskbar, and select "Microsoft Outlook" from the menu that appears.
