Hi I have a problem with the SAVE MAIL MESSAGE activity. I tried to save an email with the .msg extension but it doesn’t work.

How can I save an .msg?

Welcome back to our uipath community.

May I know what error are you getting here ? And also did you specified file name along with folder path to save the file or not ?

Could you please show me screenshot of what you provided in Save Mail Message activity. So that I can check and help you.

It saves the email with the correct extension, but it is impossible to open the email.

thank you
