Hello everyone. Can you help me this problem? How to read email from outlook website.
I already read email from outlook app by Get Outlook mail activity.
But I tried with Outlook Website can’t do.
I also doing step by step as below :
+ Open website( https://outlook…)
+ Typing to login
+ Extract datatable to get data from website.
→ Result still can’t do 
Anyone can teach me another way in this case?
Hi @Dava_Macos,
Accessing outlook via its available outlook activities is the faster and better way.
Hence, I am trying to understand- Why do you intend to do it via frontend? Is it for learning purposes or a requirement?

Hi @Dava_Macos ,
Option 1: UI Automation (More Complicated)
You can use UI automation to log in to the Outlook website and extract email data, but this approach can be complex and less reliable.
Option 2: Use the IMAP/POP3 Protocol
You can configure IMAP or POP3 to connect to Outlook Online:
Enable IMAP in Outlook:
Go to Settings in your Outlook Online account.
Search for IMAP/POP settings and enable IMAP.
Configure UiPath:
Use the Get IMAP Mail Messages activity.
Provide the following details:
Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
User: Your email address.
Password: Your password (use an app password if MFA is enabled).
You can watch this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTU8bot3OEM
I hope this helps!

I would suggest to avoid this approach as it’s non reliable and unnecessarily complicated.
If this is working what’s the reason for going Ui automation approach?
