Hi Divyashree,

Yes, we were setting other account so it is fixed now. But we have further issue with ‘get outlook mail message’ Filter. We wanted to filter mails based on the sender so we tried “[senderaddress] = ‘somemail@mastek.com’” but this does not work.

So we had to get all mails and add condition to check sender’s address.

Is there any other alternative that we can use?

instead of looping you can use select method and get the list of mail messages at once.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

I know these C# techniques to filter out the mails but what I am more interested is the ‘Filter’ of get outlook mail message activity. Is there any filter to get filtered mails based on the sender id.

Thank You
