Issue with Generated Outlook Links Using Message ID in Power Automate

Hi everyone,

I have a Power Automate flow where, when a new email arrives, the Message ID is extracted using Compose and is used to generate a URL for the email via this format:

This has been working fine until recently. Now, the generated links are giving an error message stating that the email has been deleted or removed, even though the email still exists in the mailbox. For instance:

Old Link (works): [https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink/read/?ItemID=AQMkAGIzYzBmMmNiLWFmNGQtNGU2MC05NWFlLWFmMmI2ZGJmNTE2ZABGAAADkR2hwY3ZNUGcNIN0FybyawcAOdYFF4Es4UqvocGkeAMIzgAAAgEMAAAAOdYFF4Es4UqvocGkeAMIzgAByDpwjwAAAA%3D%3D&viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&path=&exvsurl=1
]
New Link (doesn’t work): [https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink/read/?ItemID=AQMkAGIzYzBmMmNiLWFmNGQtNGU2MC05NWFlLWFmMmI2ZGJmNTE2ZABGAAADkR2hwY3ZNUGcNIN0FybyawcAOdYFF4Es4UqvocGkeAMIzgAAAgEMAAAAOdYFF4Es4UqvocGkeAMIzgABy_ny6gAAAA%3D%3D&viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&path=&exvsurl=1
]

Interestingly, links generated before this issue still work fine, but all newly generated links fail to open the email.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a change in how Message IDs are being handled, or could this be related to some Outlook/Power Automate update?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
