Outlook 2011 Keyboard Shortcut for going to Inbox

Is there a keyboard shortcut in Outlook for Mac 2011 that allows me to jump back to the main Inbox folder? Under my Inbox, I have a long list of folders that spans more than a full screen. If I'm at one of the folders close to the bottom of the list, let's say Sent Items and want to quickly go back to the Inbox folder, I have to use the mouse to scroll up in the folder list and then click on Inbox.

Is there a way to go there faster? I remember there being a shortcut for this on Windows if I'm not mistaken.

Solution 1:

I wrote a little AppleScript to do this. If you copy it to your "~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Outlook Script Menu Items" folder you can assign a shortcut key to it using System Preferences/Keyboard.

Works like a charm.

The script is:

on run {}   
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"    
        set selected folder to inbox
    end tell
end run

Solution 2:

I dont think there is any shortcut available for it. But still here is a list of shortcuts for your reference.

Solution 3:

I modified the post from thatdamncat a little so that it will change to the mail view if the window is not on there. although if you have multiple main windows this may mess with your flow.

on run {}
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
        tell the first main window
            set view to mail view
        end tell
        set selected folder to inbox
    end tell
end run
