Hello!

Have you tried to do it manually to see if the error appears? Are the Cache Mode active?

Regards,

I have tried it manually and it works perfectly if I run it on my Local machine but I am getting problem on my Production machine

Does the production machine (or the account the process is executing under) have the same rights to the mailbox that you have? Could it be a security/permissions issue?

Check if the mailbox is with Cache Mode ON

I have tried it manually but i was not able to move the mail messages in to another folder.

Do you think that might be the problem??

It sounds like a permissions issue but keep in mind I’m no expert. Are the accounts maintained by your IT department? It sounds like you may need “delete” or some similar level of access granted to whatever account needs to move the mail message as the server recognizes moving of the original item a delete action on the original. The link below may shed some more light.

Hello Williams,

Bot has been granted permission to move mail from one folder to another, I have tried doing it manually in the prod environment. But when I run the same thing with Bot in Prod environment it stills gives me the same error as mentioned above.

Is there any alternative for this. Please help.

Regards,
Raviteja.

After the bot was granted permission was a reboot of the machine or session performed? Maybe the permissions haven’t fully applied yet? If you are able to truly move the email on the production machine (using the same credentials as the bot) and not just copy it (as the error says) then it seems strange the bot wouldn’t be able to and generate this particular error. Maybe the error message is just misleading…

Thank you for the reply Sir,

When you say “permissions haven’t fully applied” what do you exactly mean by that??

i have rebooted the system twice, even though there is no change in the error.

Please advise.

We are facing the same exact problem, the issue is only happening time to time. Is there anyone who have found a solution to the problem ? moving the mail manually works. Using UIPATH activity move mail works time to time.

@Ravi_teja did you find a solution to it?

We end up using the office365 activity from UIPath which directly connect to the outlook server to interact with mail. The activity is using the Graph API. Check for the office 365 activity package.
