I can't find the Outlook activity!

[Hosam_Alzahrani]

As I proceed through the tutorial for the RPA starting course, I’ve run across a problem. I’m unable to finish the instruction since I can’t seem to find the “Use Desktop Outlook App” activity + I can’t find my value: ‘‘MyUnicornName’’ when selecting the value. In order for me to proceed with the course, I would be extremely grateful if someone could give me a clear solution to this issue.

Many thanks

Navigate to

Design → Manage Packages

Make sure the package feeds are checked in project settings

See if it is working after checking all the check boxes. if not

Go To manage Packages → Search for UiPath.Mail.Activities

Install the package and search

I think you have older version or something because the layout of the app is different

Hi @Hosam_Alzahrani

For the Activity issue, here is the solution:

Make sure you have the UiPath.Mail.Activities package installed. If you dont have that, then go to Manage Packages → All Packages. Then search for the package. Click the Install Button and then click Save.

After the package and dependency is successfully installed, The activity will be under Installed → Integrations → Gmail and Outlook

If this solves your issue, do mark it as a solution.
Thank You
Happy Automation

Hi @ashokkarale

Isn’t Use Desktop Outlook App an activity under UiPath.Mail.Activities ?

I removed the dependency alternately to verify.

@V_Roboto_V,

You are right it’s in UiPath.Mail.Activities

Glad that you got the solution

To clarify - my screenshot is from the Project Manage Packages → Settings and not the Studio Settings
