GetExchangeMailMessages Activity - No Filter fields under Options

[Steven_McKeering]

Hi All

I have no fields to filter emails using my “Get Exchange Mail Messages” activity.

I have updated the package version with no luck.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping to use a filter for efficiency to save going through hundreds/thousands of emails

Currently using v20.10.1 but no luck when changing the version.

Cheers

Steve

Hi @Steven_McKeering

Can you check with studio version 22.4.4.

Hi @Steven_McKeering

Can you Update the Studio and Mail package and check it

My Configuration

Current Studio Version → 22.4.4

Mail Activity Version → 1.17.1.0.preview

Hey @Gokul001 and @Tapan_Behera1

Any workarounds for 2020.10?

We aren’t doing an upgrade for a few months

Could I do it in reverse like get the email then filter the queue items?

TIA

Cheers

Steve

Yes @Steven_McKeering

You can try this approach:

Read the mails using Get Exchange mail activity and store in mails variable.

Then use the search query using assign activity

mails= search_query

I will give this a try

Edit:
Use the below filter from @Tapan_Behera1 with success.
mails=mails.Where(Function(mail) mail.Subject.ToString.Contains(“sub_contents”)).ToList()

Edit2: Updated My UiPath.Mail package to v1.12.2 and it has been added.

Is this solution work for you ?

Hey @Aleem_Khan

Yes the mail filter worked for me:
mails=mails.Where(Function(mail) mail.Subject.ToString.Contains(“sub_contents”)).ToList()

But was a bit slow, 8 seconds per email

Updating the package to include the filter expression was much faster (1-3 seconds).
