Level 1 - Foundation Training - revamped - Lesson 11 - Practice 2 - Send Outlook Mail Message : Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))

[ivandeca (Ilse)]

Hi

I’m following the walkthrough of Level 1 - Foundation Training - revamped - Lesson 11 - Practice 2, but when I run the script I get following error message:

I saw this post: Send Outlook Mail Message : Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT)), which was moved to the bugs report category.
Does this mean there’s (still) a bug?

If so, I’m happy to provide more bug info.
If not, can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Hi @ivandeca

You are catching all the bugs on the Academy
Good news is that it is being updated to the new release, so hopefully those faulty workflows will disappear.

As to the solution, have you already tried things suggested in the last post of the topic you’ve linked?

Send Outlook Mail Message : Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))

Hi DAishwarya, This shouldn`t be an issue if the credentials are configured correctly in Outlook. I`ll suggest two things to do and see if they work: Update the mail activity package to the latest version (if you`re not using that already). The reason is that the latest version contains quite alot of fixed for various bugs. Try to make sure that the Outlook Users are configured well. A hint for me that thats the source of your troubles is the fact that Outlook keeps asking for your credent…

If yes and it didn’t help, please share more information (version of your Studio, version of your Mail activity package, version of your Outlook, etc.).

@Ciprian_Forcos Could you assist here?

Hi

I had/have the latest version of the mail activity package. However, there were updates for the System and UIAutomation activities, so I updated those, just to be sure. Unfortunately, I still get the same error

I’ve no idea how to make sure that the Outlook Users are configured well. But in my case Outlook is not asking for my credentials, so I suppose it’s OK, especially since I had no troubles with Practice 1 (moving emails from one folder to another).

So, here’s some more information:

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue as you @ivandeca. The error started to happen after I upgraded to Windows 10. Did you or anyone else ever figure out what was causing the error?

Thank you!

Best regards
