**Get Exchange Mail Messages: The request failed. The remote server returned an error: (401) **
Unauthorized.
I am unable to forward mail which contain table formatted data in its body. even if I used htmlbody true option tick.
then I used Get Exchange Mail Message but faced new Error given above

Please help, My main concern is to forward mail as it is with table formatted data to recipient
I tried all suggestion provided in UiPath Forum, but none of them work

Hi @harishkr.netsoft

Could you maybe specify:

  • your Studio version
  • your Mail package version
  • sample of the email in question (a screenshot, or a saved sample email)

This would help in figuring out the issue.

You might also try updating the Mail package to the latest preview version, just to see if the issue wasn’t tackled already.

Please find answer
Studio Version is Community Edition Studio Pro 2020.4.3

Hi @harishkr.netsoft

Our team had a look, and it looks like you should discuss with your admin what the correct authentication setup for your particular Exchange server is.

The activity was tested and works well with properly setup server.

Some hints here:
The issue might be with the authentication method. When trying to authenticate using the “old” method (i.e. specifying server, domain, user, password, etc), you can get the 401 error. This is because the Exchange server does not allow this authentication type. You must use the modern authentication method (application id and optionally directory id must be specified). Using this method (with authentication type set to interactive), I will get prompted for the account and after that everything should work just fine.

Hi @Maciej

Hi ,
Will the prompt be one time or it will be everytime we use the exchange server activity?
