I can't retrieve "Sender" information

Help

1

Hello,

i use the GET OUTLOOK MAIL MESSAGES activity.
In the list created by this activity, i want to retrieve all the “Sender” informations.

But for certain emails, it is not possible… i get an error.

I have tried:
item.Sender.ToString
item.From.Address.ToString
…

But it doesn’t work.

I am a uipath beginner but it seems that the “sender” value is “null” for certain emails.

Does anyone have an explanation and a solution?
Thanks.

seems like am issue with the outlook cache mechanism to update the contact lists (From addresses). I tried reducing the cache period till the lowest… still sometimes i faced from address missing issue.

To eliminate this slow response - i did the everything on imap activity. it much better and faster. ( if you want to move it to imap → required to open a port imap port (25 / 143) for the mailbox)
