'date' is not a member of 'system.net.mail.mailmessage' error message

[Giovanni_Mac]

Hi, referring to this solution: https://forum.uipath.com/t/i-want-to-get-the-count-of-emails-that-i-have-received-in-between-12am-to-23-59-on-a-particular-date-please-help/343870

I’m trying to perform the same activity but get ‘date’ is not a member of ‘system.net.mail.mailmessage’ error message on the expression: MailMessages.Where(function(x) Convert.ToDateTime(x.date).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)=Date.Now.ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)).Count

I’m a beginner, this is my first robot.

Thanks a lot

@Giovanni_Mac
Welcome to the forum

We assume you are working with get outlook Mail Message activitiy - output: MailMessagesVar

In general we would suggest to work with filters: Get Outlook Mail Messages

Getting the LINQ (for VB) working give a try at (a defensive one)

MailMessagesVar.Where(Function (x) x.Headers.AllKeys.Contains("Date") AndAlso x.DateAsDateTime.Date = Now.Date).Count

when the received date is targeted then also the following variation can work:

MailMessagesVar.Where(Function (x) x.Headers.AllKeys.Contains("DateRecieved") AndAlso CDate(x.Headers("DateRecieved")).Date.equals(Now.Date)).Count

For training purpose we also would suggest to explore a single mail within the immediate panel by e.g.
MailMessagesVar(0) and its properties and methods

Once above will work we can rewrite the LINQ and incorporate the UTC Offset as well

Hi,

The recent Mail.Actvities package has issue of date in MailMessage.

Get Outlook Mail Messages - item.date

Hi, with “get outlook mail messages” I read attachements into [image]. For every message I write line “item.subject” and “item.date”. It worked fine until yesterday afternoon. Since then “item.date” is giving error message: “Write Line: The given mail message does not specify a date.” Read mails are being still the same. I would appreciate any help. Thx and kind regards, Vanja

MailMessage variable doesn't have an option to read the Receiving date

Hi Team, I am currently using mailmessage(System.Net.Mail.MailMessage) variable in UiPath Studio Community Edition version 2022.7.0-beta.9548. It doesn’t have an option to read the Receiving Date. Can you please look into this issue once. Attached the screenshot for your reference. [image]

If you use Mail.Activities package 1.11.4 or above, can you try to downgrade to 1.13.1-preview or 1.12.3, then try your expression or @ppr 's solution.
