Hi
welcome to upiath community

Change the type argument in for each loop as system.net.mail.mailmesage in the property panel and try once

hope these steps would help you resolve this
–use get outlook mail activity and get the output with a variable named list_mailmessge
–then pass the variable as input to FOR EACH activity and change the type argument as mentioned above
–inside the loop use SAVE ATTACHMENT activity and mention the mail input as item and mention the folder path where we want to save the file
