Hi @101431371
The error was saying there is no such folder in your mail account with the name you provided.
Can you show me how you have given the Mail folder name in the Folder field.
For example, You want to give the Folder name with in the Double quotes, If the Folder name is Data Request, then you have to give the folder name with in double quotes weather it is in sub folder under inbox or anything directly give the folder name as “Data Request”
Hope it helps!!
he “specified folder does exist” error in UiPath Outlook automation means UiPath can’t find the folder you told it to look in. Here’s why:
- Typos or Path Issues: Check for typos, case sensitivity, and correct subfolder paths (e.g., “Inbox\Reports”).
- Missing Permissions: The robot user might not have access to read that folder. Grant read permissions.
- Wrong Folder Selection: Try default folders like “Inbox” first to rule out custom folder problems.
- Outlook Issues: Make sure Outlook is installed, running, and synchronized.
If these don’t work, consult UiPath documentation or forums for more specific troubleshooting.
Hi,
Please share the screenshot of get outlook mail message properties.
