Hi @copy_writes

You can try in two ways

  1. Store the output of mails in get Outlook mail activitiy in mails variable.

Now use below assign query to filter mail containing subject as Update

mails = mails.AsEnumerable().Where(Function (mail) mail.Subject.ToString.Contains(“Update”)).ToList()

Other way is

In filter expression put the expression like this

“@SQL=” + “””” + “urn:schemas:httpmail:subject” + “””” + ” like ‘%Update%'”

I am not much sure with second way

But u can try that

I have 40+ mail id is there from that mail id only I need to extract the body and I if it has update on that time we have to extract the body and place it in excel.

Hi @copy_writes

What u mean by update there ?

5

Subject contains update

6

Like the mails contains only filteres mail whose subject is mail

If there are multiple mails having subject as Update u can loop through each mails and use mail.body to retrive the body of mail and can append to datatable

Hi @copy_writes

did u mean that extraction of mails from 40+ is slowing the automation process by using for each ?

Hi @copy_writes
You can write in FilterExpression property “SUBJECT Update”
