@sowmya.krishna Check this below link,

Read a .msg file and save attachement

This simple vbs should work fine, you could even pass the arguments in the Start Process activity. Dim OlApp Dim Eml Dim Arg Set Arg = WScript.Arguments Dim File File = Arg(0) Set OlApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”) Set Eml = OlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(File) Download(Eml) Sub Download(objEml) For Each Attch In objEml.Attachments Attch.SaveAsFile "C:\temp\" & Attch.FileName Next End Sub [image]

Hope this may help you

please follow these steps.
put download activity inside "wait for download activity.
Wait for download activity will give you full path of downloaded file.

I have an email file on the desktop (a .msg file extension). How do I read it and save the attachment like you can do with the Outlook method?.

Hope this will help you.

I am getting this error

I have used the custom activity “Adrosonic.EmailFileReader.Activities” for reading .msg body and custom activity “Adrosonic.MailAttachments.Activities” for saving attachments inside .msg file
