Hi,

If we can set different filename for these mailMessage, both will be saved.
If we set same name for them, the later will be saved and its order depends on OrderBy settings of GetMailmessages activity, for example.

Hi,

If we set NewestFirst in GetOutlookMailMessage and check true at overwrite in SaveoutlookMailMessage, first newer mail is saved, next older mail is saved. So the older one will be remaining.

Hi,

This is one of the solutions. However it’s not effecient because “order by oldest” start to get mails from the oldest in the mailbox.
So, if you need to keep the newest one, can you try to uncheck “Replace existing” option and surround it by Try Catch as the following?

Hi,

It’s no problem if value of Top property of GetOutlookMailMessage is enough large, i think.
