I try to filter my mails by sender in the activity ‘get mail messages’ so I don’t have to check/filter the sender in a for each loop (this will take more time and is unnessesary if you can do it in the filter above).
BUT the filter doesn’t work completely and I have no idea why, maybe I am overlooking something…
But I get an error that the from property is unkown…
The documentation also lists the option with sendermailaddress as I use before, which I also have seen in many forum posts and tutorial videos - so this option has to work, too.
You mentioned that ‘outlook would return emails with thier email included even if they are not from that person’, but I don’t get these kind of mails in my filter, I get over 27 mails not, so this should work too.
I noticed that the searching/filter in outlook was set to mailbox not to mail folder(Inbox)…Now for this sender I get all right mails.
BUT I tried another sender with sendermailaddress and there are 3 in the Inbox folder, I’m getting 0 back…
Both UiPath and outlook itself make filtering and searching for specific mails very confusing and hard to understand - it’s very unreliable, but of course I need a solution I can rely on…
this will filter from the sender …if you given only email id there then you will get results of all the emails where the specific person is not the sender but is there in the email cc or any other field as well…
Check that
The filter that you are doing on UiPath does not look wrong
