Read emails from outlook received on “current date”

Help
1

I have gone through the e-mail Ui Path tutorial video. The example over there shows the emails that are fetched from current time to past 24 hours.but my concern is that i want to fetch the emails only of today’s date(the present day).

2

Please try this

“[ReceivedTime] >= '”+now.AddDays(-1).ToShortDateString+“’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= '”+now.ToString +“'”

It is giving dates for previous date as well. How can I retrieve all the emails for current date, i.e., suppose I want to get all the mails which I have received only on 04/07/2017(mm/dd/yyyy).

Thanks in advance.

Try this

“[ReceivedTime] >= '”+now.ToShortDateString+“’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= '”+now.AddDays(1).ToString +“'”

this logic applies for today’s, let me try for a specific day. Will let you know, even you play around with it and let me know if you find.

@priya Try this, i’m able to get in Outlook for both. Did you have unread checked?

Today : "[ReceivedTime] >= '"+now.ToShortDateString+"' AND [ReceivedTime] <= '"+now.ToString +"'"

Random Day : "[ReceivedTime] >= '11/01/2016' AND [ReceivedTime] <= '11/01/2016 23:59:59'"

I have tried both way, i.e, for unread mails the unread properties is checked and for read mails the unread properties is unchecked. But still i am not getting any result.

Not sure, please search the forum, may be you can find better solution. Thanks.

Hi @Amarjeet,

I have attached an example that filters the messages according to the date they were sent.

Could you please check it and tell us if it’s what you need?

If i write NOT “[ReceivedTime] >= '”+now.AddDays(-1).toString

Does it work the other way? Ie does not let me read the emails that came in that time?

11

How about “[ReceivedTime] < '”+now.AddDays(-1).toString

If I wanted to filter by the number of emails sent by the same person?

What do you mean by filter by number of emails?

you can try and get the count “[From]=1@1.net AND [ReceivedTime] < '”+now.AddDays(-1).toString"

It’s a job I was asked for

1@1 ???

Its an example for Email Address, you can use the Name of the User

[From]=‘UiPath Helpdesk’

You can give me a example

email address = example@example.com

time = 2 day

number email= 5

Check the display name of Email and use that

“[From]=examplename AND [ReceivedTime] >= '”+now.AddDays(-2).ToShortDateString+“’ AND [ReceivedTime] <= '”+now.ToString +“'”

I am simply trying to do what the tutorial video is showing, of retrieving email with a filter of the last 24 hours.

I’m putting

“[ReceivedTime] >= " + Now.AddDays(-1).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt”) +”"

into the filter field.

Everything is set up fine and I can get email, download attachments or whatever but none of the filters I’m trying are working. Did I type this wrong? It would be very helpful to have a list of the expressions used in the video, listed in the description on YouTube for self-check and even copy-paste.

For GetOutLookMail Message, I used following filter to get the result (email) for today (.i.e. past midnight until current time of the day)

“[Received] >= '” + now.AddDays(-1).ToString(“D”) + '“”

If you want to get the results for last two days, simply replace -1 with -2.

Hope this helps
