Retrieving attachments from saved email (.eml)

Help
1

Hi all,

I am trying to retrieve attachments from an email message that is already saved on the hard-disk as a .eml file. Is there a way to do this?

I noticed that the “Save attachments” command only lets us retrieve attachments from MailMessage objects. In that case is there a way to convert saved emails in .eml format into MailMessage objects?

Thanks a ton!

Try this. It worked fro .msg, have not tried for .eml format.You could use a different vbs and execute in a similar way.

Hi Vinay,

Thanks for the repsonse. I have never coded or created VB scripts before. I tried the one you had shared, but it seems to be sepecific for .msg. Also, I am trying to do this on systems that use Lotus Notes as the mail client.

Could you let me know how I can proceed further?

Thanks,
Anupam

Hey Andre,

I have did it a long back,

first you need to open .eml file by start process(refer to Screen shot), and then open it as follows

now you are able to perform all the operations which you can do with mail messages.

Happy Automation :wink:

Thanks Aditya, but this didn’t work as I thought. The .eml file is stored on a local drive and now I need to load it back into uipath as a mail object so I can then do a for each to iterate through the attachments. Any ideas?
