As far as I could find in the Outlook help - no (I checked outlook-2007, but it is probably the same in that aspect).

If you bind a keyboard shortcut to launching outlook (i.e. to its shortcut) you can get almost the desired effect. Outlook will start, but identify that an instance is already running and will just restore it. It is slower than actually restoring outlook, but not that much.

for me it is not working :( – Antoops May 26 '11 at 5:15
Try running outlook (start menu, quick launch etc.) without binding it first. See if that works. If not, it is very strange as it works for me. – RonK May 26 '11 at 5:30
First time it is working. Once it is minimized to system tray, the shortcut seems not working :( – Antoops May 26 '11 at 5:31
Seems like a keyboard bind does not work if the shortcut is in the Quick Launch area. However - if the shortcut is in the Start Menu - it works for me fine. I did the binding to Ctrl+Alt+1 – RonK May 26 '11 at 5:48
it worked for first time but not after that :( – Antoops May 26 '11 at 5:54
