How to save emails using Save Mail Message activity and still have the "Received date" in the saved email?
Issue Description: The Saved emails with Save Mail Message activity do not have the received date, unlike when saving email manually. When the email is saved manually, a valid Received date is present.
- Manually saved email in Outlook has the end date
- Mail saved with Save Mail Message doesn't have the received date (None)
Resolution: To resolve the issue, the header("Date") format of the email needs to be modified before saving it and assign to the email item a new header date format by using the following method:
mail.Headers("Date")= datetime.ParseExact(mail.Headers(“Date”),“dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“ddd d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss”)
