Can anyone help me with this. Is it possible using any C# or .net code

Hi @Ritika_Singh

Instead of using get outlook mail message activity use the Get IMAP Mail messages activity in this activity you have to give the mail account credentials with IMAP port and servername.
If the account is not logged in your machine it will retrive the mails from that mail account.

@Ritika_Singh
Use get exchange mail message activity which is connecting account through server, for that you don’t need outlook installed in your systems.
How to Connect through get exchange mail message:

@Ritika_Singh

Using outlook activities you can read mails only on the current users outlook app related mails

For reading mails from any other emails or whicha re not configured on outlook you have multiple other options

  1. imap activities
  2. Exchange activities
  3. Office 365 activities

Cheers
