Hi,

I am getting the same issue while working in the remote desktop and there is no outlook application. So I changed the activity to get IMAP mail message but it shows login failed :mailkit.security.authenticationexception

Please suggest any ideas.

Thanks,

Hi @niranjan.kummara

If you are getting this error, make sure you are providing correct information to these 2 fields:

If the error persists, refresh the project/close the project & try again in a while. As I used to get the same error after entering all the details correctly, the same creds started working in a while.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

@arjunshenoy Hi Arjun, i have entered details correctly. It has to pick the details from the subfolder.

Hi @niranjan.kummara ,

Can you check Clients sub folder still exist in your account under Inbox?

@Manish540 yes, i have the Clients subfolder.

@niranjan.kummara

If client folder is present inside the inbox folder (as a subfolder), please specify only the folder name, not from the root -

Specify the folder as ‘Clients’

If the error persists:

  1. Try refreshing the outlook session once.
  2. Try using the Outlook activities with the ‘Desktop’ option selected. In Studio, click on the ‘Project’ tab, select ‘Settings’ and then select ‘Execution’. Under the ‘Options’ section, select ‘Desktop’ as the execution type. This will enable the UiPath activities to interact with the Outlook application directly, which may resolve the issue.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.
