Hi @Sudheer_Kumar_S !

First of all you have to know the date of the message:

Asssign
mailDate(String) = mailMessage.Headers(“Date”)

Then you use activity - Save Attachments
Then you use for ach activity as:

For each attachment in mailMessage.Attachments with typeArgument “System.Net.Mail.Attachment”

In body of for each you will have:

Assign
originalAttachmentName = Path.GetFileName(attachment.Name)

Assing
newAttachmentName = mailDate + “_” + originalAttachmentName

Move file
from: Path.Combine(path from activity saves attachment).ToString, originalAttachmentName

to: Path.Combine(path from activity saves attachment).ToString, newAttachmentName
(That will rename you attachment and add the date)

The activity save attachment cant save attachment with different name.
