Hi,

Read all the mails.

Then pass your maillist in below assign activity

Assign activity:
FilteredEmails = (From email In mailList
Where email.Attachments.Any()
Select email).ToList()

If this solution works for you. Please mark this as a solution, so others can refer the same. :slight_smile:

Hi @Jayesh_678
Thanks for your suggestion.
but actually I have more than 3lakh mails in the Inbox, so to read this number of mail is not worth it. Thats why I am looking into the filter expression so that I will get only the required one.

@Amiya_Bhusan_Sahoo,

In Get IMAP Mail Messages Activity FilterExpression property, pass "hasattachments:true" as string

Thanks,
Ashok :slight_smile:
