When using the loop through unread email action for specific subject name if multiple unread email are with same subject name exists during execution does it take the oldes unread mail for that subject

Hi @soumyadeep_c ,
In loop action, It will be processed Last In First Out (LIFO) order. meaning the most recently received unread email is processed first, not the oldest. You can check only one unread mail and break the loop.
Thank you,
