Hey @Althaf_KN,

StartTimeVar = Now.ToString(“dd-MMM-yyyy”)
You can pass the variable as "SINCE "+StartTimeVar

Already tried this method.It throws error like
Get IMAP Mail Messages: The IMAP server replied to the ‘SEARCH’ command with a ‘BAD’ response: Could not parse command

@Althaf_KN, so in that case

  1. Read all the mail messages
  2. ListofMailMessage.AsEnumerable().Where(Function(x)x.Headers(“Date”)<Now.ToString(“dd-MMM-yyyy”)).ToList

Thanks,
Sanjit
