@Waterfowl_Waterfowl_hunte

Instead of UI elements and TypeInto, why don’t you use Get Outlook Message, Send Outlook Message, which will work on background, Instead of UI

Check below for your reference

Unfortunately, due to my agency security policies the UI Path outlook activities are not available, There for i have to resort to Type into and clicks.

Hi

Welcome to UiPath forum

Instead of typing u can try with copy paste method

Pass the same string u wanna type to SET TO CLIPBOARD activity and then use a SEND HOTKEY activity where mention the key as ctrl+v
This will paste the value where u want to type

Hi @Waterfowl_Waterfowl_hunte - Can you modify your selector like below. You can uncheck the unnecessary attributes by opening the selector in UiExplorer.

<wnd app='outlook.exe' cls='something' title='*'
<wnd cls='_WwB' title='*'/>

Avoid idx values in the selectors
