Unable to get mail using o365 username and password authentication

[mishulan (Mihai Stan)]

I’m using Microsoft Office 365 Scope activity with Authentication type set to UsernameAndPassword. App Id, Tenant Id, password, username and Services>Mail filled accordingly.
Inside the 365 Scope Activity I have a Get Mail (UiPath.MicrosoftOffice365.Activities.Mail.GetMail) activity with default settings.
When I run the automation I get the following error:
Get Mail: Code: generalException
Message: An error occurred sending the request.

Works fine when the Authentication type is set to Interactive Token but I need to run this in unattended mode.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Hey @mishulan

I don’t think AppID or tenant is required ?

Thanks

Hello @mishulan ,

maybe this post will help you:

Authentication Types Used In Microsoft Office 365 Scope Activity

What are the Authentication types used in Microsoft Office 365 scope activity and share comparison of Attended vs. Unattended authentication types in Microsoft Office 365 scope activity? Authentication Types As an User As an Application (run as background service) Attended Unattended Unattended (MFA enabled) Details Application ID & Certificate X X X Available starting with version 1.9.0. Very similar with Application Id and Secret, the only diff…

I believe you have MFA enabled on your O365 tenant, so Username and password might not work.

Better to use:
Application ID & Secret

Just an idea.
