Hi @goh6613,

Take a look the below

> [@Save outlook mail as .msg file](https://forum.uipath.com/t/save-outlook-mail-as-msg-file/34918/2):
>
> Hi, Try with this workflow to save outlook mails as .msg format. [OutlookMailReader.xaml](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/6/7/6709955d98378badccf9aa9a8cbeeb34b2fb9423.xaml) (6.8 KB) and refer this post for the difference between .msg and .eml before make decision to save it as .msg

hi Bala,

Thanks for your reply but this is not what i looking for.

What i means is to download the attachments (which type is .msg) in the email the robot read.

i am using “Save Attachment” activity, it able to save all other file format except for .msg

Thanks
