Uipath.Mail.activites

Exception Details- UiPath.Mail.Activities A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond,can any one please explain why it will occur.

Any solution to this issue?

My 60+ robots are sending hundreds of emails per day. Normally I don’t see any issues, but the last 3 weeks I count approx. 30 of these errors, when sending SMTP emails:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

For the emails that are sent internally in the company I’m able to check that the email are being sent and received. So at least for the cases I have checked, the mail activity are not failing to sent. However, it throws an error, which is making the transaction or whole job fail.

Adding a retry around the mail activity is not a solution, then the robot will just be sending 2 emails. Ignoring the error is also not a solution, since it could be a real error, which need to throw, so I will be notified.

Hi @Dan_Wulff_Andersen

What is your version of Studio and the Mail activity package?
Any chance that the latest version fixes this issue for you?

Most processes have below version:
“UiPath.Mail.Activities”: “[1.7.2]”,
“studioVersion”: “19.10.3.0”,

But I have also seen the issue for processes with “UiPath.Mail.Activities”: “[1.3.0]”,

Will try to update a few processes to latest version, and see if they can still fail.
