Let’s say u have a list of mails in mail_list variable.
inputdays is the no of by which u want to move date backward

then u use below query to.filter it

mail_list.Where(Function (mail) DateTime.ParseExact(mail.Headers(“Date”),“MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss”)>Now.AddDays(-inputdays) And DateTime.ParseExact(mail.Headers(“Date”),“MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss”)<Now)

Try this

Hi @fairymemay

Try this in filter property of get outlook mail message activity
“[ReceivedTime] >= '”+Now.AddDays(input).Date.ToString+“’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= ‘”+Now().Date.ToString+“’”

where input is the number of days needed to be subtracted
