@Abdulkader_Sandouka1,

Welcome to our community!
Thank you for posting your query in UiPath Developer Forum.

For Gmail you need to use Gsuite package with “Get IMAP mail messages” activity. Get outlook mails wont work with Gmail. I think that could be the issue, check that.

@Abdulkader_Sandouka1 make sure check the config object first its getting value or not.

next to get outlook mail activity use a writeline activity like this
OpMail.Count.ToString
so that we will get to know the number of mail fetched
if that is more than 0 then we need to check with the expression and it should be like this
item.Sender.Address.ToString.Contains(Config(“EmailIdD”+index.tostring).ToString)
–and make sure that index value after reaching 5 should end at some point
else it will contiinue with a loop and if it reaches more than the value in your excel this error will occur for sure
–so use a FLOW DECISION before getting the first invoke activity like this
index > 5
if true connect that to a message box and if false connect that to the first invoke workflow file activity

this one i was able to avoid by using (try catch) and the program runs perfectly however the first one stops the program from running,
(note that the program runs perfectly when i login to outlook with hotmail) but wont work when i login with my gmail or my company email, you can try it if you have a gmail it wont work.
thanks in advance and sorry to take a lot of your time.

This error implies that the key string is formed but that key is not here in the dictionary
So we need to the key string been formed
Use a writeline activity before to this Assign activity and mention the same expression so that we will come to know, may be like this
“EmailIdD”+index.tostring
Using try catch is fine but that can catch the exception which can’t be taken as a final result as that work as expected.

We are almost done

yes but my problem is not the loop error my problem is this error 2
i have an older version of the program that does not have a loop or index value its only take one value from the exel file and the same error apper (the object reference not set to an instance of an object error) i will upload it so you can see Outlook_FolderCreation_MailMovement.zip (28.6 KB)
this one does not have a loop.
