Hi
This is something related to outlook issue I guess
Kindly check once with your admin team and reinstall the outlook and try once
Your UiPath workflow looks perfectly fine

And For the error

Remove the account property in the property panel and try once

Kindly try this and let know for any queries or clarification

Awesome
If it’s a gmail then we can POP3
Of if it’s a outlook then we can use GET EXCHANGE MAIL ACTIVITY

I am using business mail like @assetsoft.biz

does "GET EXCHANGE MAIL ACTIVITY " will work ??

Latest version would be fine buddy
And still GET OUTLOOK MAIL ACTIVITY depends on the outlook
Kindly check with you admin team and pls try further with either of this activity
GET OUTLOOK or GET EXCHANGE MAIL ACTIVITY

cheers @prashantP

Even If we do manually we will get this type of popup sometimes.you can click allow and select the value from the drop down manually

Share the filter condition used in the get outlook mail messages activity

Thanks @Sreelatha278

so let’s say we can not hide popup. Right ?

for filter i have just pass email id to download only specific user.

no buddy we can handle this popup, we were facing similar issue when we were using get outlook mail activity

To avoid this sort of error we can use GET EXCHANGE MAIL ACTIVITY
kindly try with that activity and let know for any queries or clarification

@prashantP

try with this condition to filter from address
“@SQL=”“urn:schemas:httpmail:fromemail”" like ‘xxxxx@xxxx.com’"

to disable that popup have a look on below links
