Hi @Venusha_Sree

Try like this

  • Store the mail message in a variable
  • Loop through mail messages
    • Currentitem.DateAsDateTime or even you give your format like
      CurrentItem.DateAsDateTime.ToString(“dd/MM/yyy”)

Hi @Venusha_Sree
Please fallow these steps.
First I want clear that please don’t create folder with current Datetime. Because when you will try to download more than 2 emails attachments or anything. Its more than 70 percent chance your folder will be replaced.

So avoid from this issue. Make Folder with combination of Mail received data+SenderName.

Follow these steps.
1- use get mail messages activity.
2- for each loop over mail messages.
3- use assign activity to get mail received date.
→ Item.Headers(“Date”)
4- use another assign activity to get sender name
→ Item.sender.displayname.tostring
5- use create folder activity and placed FolderPath+sendername + DateTime

Thanks.
