Hi @yangyq10

If you are using the Use desktop outlook app activity no need to use the Get Outlook mail message activity again.

Inside Use desktop outlook app activity directly insert the For each email activity and give the filters in the additional filters option. For each email activity will retrieve the mails from the outlook based on the filters you provided.

Remove the get Outlook mail message activity and if condition directly use the For each email activity.

Hope it helps!!

Thank you for your quick feedback
What should I input here? Since there is no get mail message, there is no email list variable accordingly

I try to input the mail folder name, still with error

Please check you contains text

The image shows a debugging window and a main sequence pane in an automation workflow, where the current email item is being checked for specific conditions like attachments count and subject content before saving attachments. (Captioned by AI)
