can you help me on this if you got the solution
Follow the below steps to achieve the output.
- Use “Get Outlook Mail Messages” and store the output in an variable say MailMessages(datatype: List(MailMessage))
- Run an “For Each” loop to iterate through each email and by using “Save Mail Message” actvitiy save the email in .eml format.
- Use “Rename file” activity to rename the .eml file to .msg file. Make sure you uncheck Keep Extension.

Hey @Parvathy
I am getting this error after renaming it to .msg. is there any other solution
Is it necessary to open that .msg file to create your further process.
If it’s necessary try converting the .eml to .mht file as .mht file wuill open in Google Chrome or MS Edge.

I have .eml files in my local and I have to retrieve attachments from that eml files. I am using read saved email to object activity which I found in market place and able to retrieve them. But again there is an issue in the .eml files there is .msg attachments which that is not able to process. we tried converting that .eml file to .msg and checked. It was able to retrieve attachemnts (msg attachments inside msg file after converting from .eml ).
So I thought of converting all the eml files to msg and run the workflow.

You can retrieve the attachments through “Save Mail Attachements” activity to save the attachments in the mail rather than saving whole email in .eml format.
Otherwise Use “Save Outlook Mail Message” activity it directly save the email in .msg format.
Refer the workflow below.
Hope it helps!!

We need not to download any files from the mail, our use case is itself extracting attachments from .eml files. which are already saved in our local. There are around 50000 eml files and we have to retrieve attachments from them.
@kishore_praveen
Use save mail attachments activity it might help.
