Help Studio

Hi Guys,
Thought of sharing the solution if you come across this error.

Today I was getting the “Specified cast is not valid.” error with Get Outlook Mail Activity. I restarted the outlook desktop app, restarted the system, upgraded and downgraded the Mail Activity, assigned Owner permission to the mailbox, nothing helped. But, when I was going through the mail folder, I found out 2 recalls email was lying there, after removing those emails bot was able to read all the emails without any issue.

You should put this in the Feedback section so UiPath will see it and hopefully address it.

thanks you very much

We got the same this morning. No fix by design within UiPath’s activities? How can we prevent our robot to face such situations?

I am not sure I would consider this fixed as the issue is bound to continue anytime it sees a recalled message.
