Dear all,

Kindly assist to resolve my issue.

I am now doing the Practice 1 for email automation.

When i run my workflow, it shows the error message as per below.

Message: The specific folder does not exist

It is an email rules practice. The folder that i want to access is a subfolder under my email inbox folder.

Kindly assist me.

Thank you.

This will happen when the destination folder to where the mail is expected to be moved is not found.

Check the destination folder that you provided in the activity.

Welcome to the Community.

You can use the below command to access the subfolder. Please change folder name according to your email box.

ā€œInbox\Personal"

If you would like to access another subfolder within a folder, follow the tree hierarchy structure.

To above example, if there is another subfolder ā€œFinanceā€ inside ā€œPersonalā€ , then your folder path should be ā€œInbox\Personal\Financeā€.

@eelin

I went through your shared file. Could you please change the value in Move Outlook mail message activity from row(ā€œFolderā€).ToString to "Inbox"+ row(ā€œFolderā€). ToString
Please add \ backslash after Inbox keyword as Iā€™m facing issue to replicate the same above.

Let me know if this works or not.

After i change the values for the move outlook mail message, it seems work.

However , there is only 2 email message being moved to the folder.

At first i put the ā€œtopā€ as 200 , then it pops up error message stated the workflow run of time.

Then , I change the ā€œtopā€ as 100.

Is it because the mail message in my email is too many?

@eelin

Yes, in Get Outlook Mail Message activity, by default timeout is ā€˜30000ā€™ milliseconds.
If you would like to access more no. of emails, please increase the TimeoutMS property which is on the extreme right top side. Try with ā€˜120000ā€™ milliseconds.

Please verify manually once how many emails it should move to that folder.
