Get Outlook Mail Messages: The specified folder does not exist!

[rpadeveloping (gigi)]

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to RPA and I have been following a tutorial that should extract excel files from certain emails and put them in a folder. I did exactly as the tutorial said but I got the error I put in the title - “Get Outlook Mail Messages: The specified folder does not exist”. These are the things I tried to no avail:

• put my email in the account property
• did “examplemail@xyz.com/Inbox” in the MailFolder property
• uninstall/reinstall studio, Microsoft Office 365, and Outlook.
• make sure the Outlook app’s language is English.
• got rid of other emails so only the email I want is in the Outlook app (is the updated mail app the new Outlook app? I just want to make sure since Studio can’t seem to find it.)

I’m pretty lost and I have been scouring the internet to try to figure out this issue but I can’t seem to find a solution. Please help!

Hi @rpadeveloping

Check out the thread. It might help you.

Move outlook mail message - The specified folder does not exist

My immediately guess is, that the folder you’re trying to access is a subfolder of your Inbox folder. So you need to assign your “MailFolder” to “Inbox\”+row(“Folder”).ToString

@Move outlook mail message - The specified folder does not exist

“Inbox\”+row(“Folder”).ToString

Hi Parvathy - thanks for replying!
I inputted the text in the MailFolder but I got this error instead - “Validation Error Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression ““Inbox\”+row(“Folder”).ToString”.
‘row’ is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.”

Did I do something wrong?

Hi, I found out the issue. I was supposed to actually have the the entire Microsoft 365 installed in my desktop. I have the actual Outlook app now and it works just fine. Thanks for taking your time!
