Hi @taxguy33,
I have experienced this error many times in my ongoing process in production. My process involves accessing email from subfolders under a shared mailbox. I’ve observed this error even if the outlook is open. Here are the options you could try (both worked for me).

  1. Give an hour after you open the Outlook application before you run the process. Even though the subfolders under the shared mailbox are visible, for some reason, the bot couldn’t identify them. This wait time really worked for me and I’m still using this option.

  2. You can simply close the outlook application and try running the process without it. It worked for me many times.

Let me know how it goes. All the best.
