I need to download mail into msg format into local drive. I have used  
[https://go.uipath.com/component/mail-message-converter](https://go.uipath.com/component/mail-message-converter)  
and I have successfully save the mail in msg format.

However, in msg mail, I cannot open the attachment file.

Does anyone has same problem?

Hi  
We can use SAVE MAIL MESSAGE activity where we can mention the mail format as .eml file along with the folder path

@Palaniyappan

But in case I want to save mail as . **msg**. SAVE MAIL MESSAGE is only available for eml format.

Do you have any suggestion?
