I hope you understand that you are trying to open Outlook on webserver and not on client system.

If you are aware of it, I would like to know the use-case where you have to open outlook on webserver via web application.

The href "mailto:" is not bind to Outlook.
It just open the installed "Default" E-Mail Program on the client.
So it could be any E-Mail Software besides Outlook...
