I’m trying to create a new outgoing message with Microsoft Outlook 2011 for mac, using AppleScript.
The following example worked in 10.6.8:

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Hooray for automation"}
    make new recipient at newMessage with properties {email address:{name:"Jim Shank", address:"jim.shank@example.com"}}
    open newMessage
end tell

On Lion I’m getting the following error:

Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t make class outgoing message.

Does anybody have a clue what went wrong there?

I’m using offline Outlook.

    Apparently, I’m using a trial version, that has expired. With registered version this script works perfectly. Boo Outlook…I spent on looking into this a couple of hours!
