When sending a mail from outlook with attachment I got an error ‘The operation has timed out’. what was the reason behind it?
Error log is

I received this yesterday too, I reran and was told that the files I was trying to attach were too big, could this be the case with you?

In my case, I try to attach a screen shot. It’s a small size file.

Are you able to send without the screenshot attached?

Yes. But this issue comes only one time.

If you create a small test sequence using this component, does the email send? This can help tell if there’s an issue with the component or the server. I ask this because for a while mine was able to email just fine when in a separate component (showing the code and server worked) but when combined in the process it wouldn’t, so it helped me find out where things were not working.

In my case I tried creating a separate component for sending mail, but facing the same issue :
Send Outlook Mail Message : The operation has timed out.
I am not attaching any files to the activity, but Just trying to send the mail.

I am also facing the same issue…
When I got this error the bot has been terminated with the error message "Send Outlook mail message :The Operation has time out. "
Some times I am getting the mail but the error is not fixed.
Some one please assist here, if you already got fixed the same.

Go to property of Send Outlook Mail Message activity and give “TimeoutMS” value more than a lakh and try, It will work.
For Example:
TimeoutMS: 200000

Hi @Linto,

hi @Linto

Just change value to by Outlook Exe path to Default Value into Registry.

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32

Also check if you have 2 version of Outlook installed in your system.
please go below path and delete version which you do not required.

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{0006F062-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\1.2\0

delete Win32 or Win64 as per your version value set for first path.
