Hi,

We are trying to fetch the Outlook folders names using assign value.
OutlookNS is of type - Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpace
in Assign
OutlookNS=outlookApp.GetNamespace(“MAPI”)

But i am getting an error as “Assign: The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found.”

Can anyone tell me what is wrong here? Do i need to make any setting changes to the robot account?

Thanks and Regards,
Santhosh

Hi @Santhosh_Hyd,
If I’m not wrong this method is related to Outlook’s VBA scripting and it will not work for typical automation. For this more advanced scripting and library/namespace importing is needed.

To be honest the only way I know it’s possible at the moment is to work with Outlook Interop library. For this you may check MS sites.
