Hi @Rajib_Behera Do you want to get mails from inbox If so Could you please remove your mail id from **“Account”** field and add “ **Inbox** ” in the **MailFolder** property and give a try. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/2X/8/8fe24c69e6a7fa2e4fbf6d6be8d046befa186f91.JPG) ---

Kindly note that the folders are localized to the different languagues, Inbox, Posteingang Whenever there is a doubt on the name (e.g. also for subfolders the path) then check it out in Outlook: - rightclick on folder - select Properties - refer to Location / path and checkout the details We assume that you are not talking about folders from shared accounts ---

Check the path location. For example, right-click on the needed folder ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/4/a/8/4a8bdb73cc3e9a851f1227daadcec2e0532928b3.png) Then, you may double-check the permissions on that folder ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/7/e/4/7e44eff6745d512d45dd004e61b61e6bce1c2a85.png) In a **Modern Design** experience project, the workflow should look like this In emails from: ```auto OutlookApplication.Folder("Inbox\Tutorials\SubfolderSample") ``` ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/7/3/1/7314763235c6029d1efcc8d7d8361efcceb6ebc9.png) * * * For the **Get Outlook Mail Messages** activity, the **MailFolder** location should look like this: ```auto "Inbox\Tutorials\SubfolderSample" ``` ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/4/2/3/4236ec4012d15532f81bcd3518c097e782586da8.png) In the **For Each** activity, the TypeArgument should be System.Net.Mail.MailMessage ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/5/0/d/50dfb0713c9a05ce8518480bf5ab50b1b934dcfd.png) Write Line (for a VB Language project): ```auto " ************" + vbCr + "Subject: " + email.Subject + vbCr + "Sender: " + email.SenderEmailAddress + vbCr + "Date: " + email.Date + vbCr + "Body: " + email.Body + vbCr ``` Let us know if this helped.
