Download attachment

[dnllorenzetti (Daniele)]

I have to count the number of attachments downloaded by mail. The problem is that if the attachments have the same name, it counts them as one.

somebody help me?

Hi @dnllorenzetti,
If both the attachments have the same name then it is the issue from the sender side that he/she has attached the same files for multiple times.

As per you: The problem is that if the attachments have the same name, it counts them as one.
Exactly, it is duplicate so u cant download the file twice with the same name, your file system will now allow you to save in a single folder.
I hope you have to standardize the process of attaching files a little bit. To avoid duplicate attachments.

Note: The mail activity can count the number of attachments based on the names, it doesn’t check for the contents of those attachments.

Workaround is, save one file at a time using while loop and inside the loop move the file to same folder but different name.

Save Attachment Activity temp = 0 While temp <= item.Attachments.Count (for multiple) If File exisits (Path+attachement(0).Name) // replace 0 with temp then strFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Path+attachement(0).Name) // replace 0 with temp strFileExt = Path.GetExtension(Path+attachement(0).Name) // replace 0 with temp then Invoke Method → File.Move params : srcPath : Path+**attachement.Name** destPath : Path+strFileName+{YOUR DIGITS}+"."+strFileExt temp++ Attachments.x…
