Hi there,

I tried using the workflow but didnt have any success.

Would you know what seems to be missing?

Or is there any sort of set-up that needs to be done on my machine?

Thanks!

Hi Experts,

I am also facing the same issue " Get outlook mail messages : The specified folder does not exist".
I have Outlook2016 in my machine.

Even with the default downloaded assignment in foundation tutorial.

1. Tried with and without account name.
2. Tried suppling different forlder names

But the error remains the same. Is there any outlook setting that has to be there for it to work?

Hi,

1. Close the Outlook
2. Open it using “Run as Administrator”
3. Execute the program.

Let me know if it works for you. I was facing the same issue and it gave me the way to read outlook.

Vivek S.
