Hey… You are the Real Robot Master…!!!
I will wait for your response…

you should have two variables with TimeSpan datatype called startTimeSpan and endTimeSpan, then

inside assign activity have it startTimeSpan = New TimeSpan(2, 00, 00)
another assign activity endTimeSpan = New TimeSpan(3, 00, 00)

then inside a If

Convert.ToDateTime(mail.Headers(“Date”).ToString).TimeOfDay > startTimeSpan and Convert.ToDateTime(mail.Headers(“Date”).ToString).TimeOfDay< endTimeSpan

Thanks a lot Saradhi . now i am able to start my Project Activity.
Many Thanks.

But have one basic doudt - How Bot wil identify the Time when AM & PM.
In Outlook Messages, i am able to see like "Thu 05-07-2018 03:00 PM.

Now i am using below to get the Time:
Convert.ToDateTime(mail.Headers(“Date”).ToString).TimeOfDay

When i am trying to compare this with : New TimeSpan(3, 00, 00)
So here how system will compare? say, if it is 3AM or 3PM

But just print all the timespan and see, I think it will be converted to 24hrs format, I can see 13:00, 14:00 something which is in 24hrs format. Let me know if still you have problem.

I have checked, my mail received 1:39 PM, but when my code starts check it, it been converted to 13:38:40.
so no issue will occur, since we have used timeofday function.

Okay i just started my Execution. I will ask for your help if anything goes wrong…
-thanks

@Pavan_Kodali

We can try like this also
First get the Mails which are all received today by giving Filter String in Filtered Property.

Let us take the Mail Collection as List A

If the count is greater than Zero then you can use Linq

 List B = (From p in In List A
Where DateTime.ParseExact(p.ReceivedTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"),"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.None)>=DateTime.ParseExact(System.DateTime.Now.Date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")+" "+"03:00 PM","MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.None) and DateTime.ParseExact(p.ReceivedTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"),"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.None)<=DateTime.ParseExact(System.DateTime.Now.Date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")+" "+"05:00 PM","MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.None)
Select Ctype(p,MailItem)).ToList

If List B.Count >0 you can start the bot.

I have not tested the code, but I thought we can do like this

Mahesh
