I tried with adding the account name as my configured email address.
Still getting the same error.

@Sachin_Ahuja,
Can you please check if you are logged in to that outlook account, I tried the same thing and it is not throwing any error.
Uploading xaml for your ref.

Main.xaml (4.7 KB)

Do you have outlook installed in your machine with your mail account configured @Sachin_Ahuja

Yes, Outlook is installed on my machine and I am logged in with my email id.

hi @Sachin_Ahuja

Check the account whether the mail is read or unread?

Thanks

Is the problem solved? I encounter the same problem in one laptop but no such issue in another one.
