Hello,

I am building a bot to download all email from a mailbox(outlook mailbox, IMAP connection). I am using loop through all email and at "When received date is before" I put a date variable with todays date in it, but the bot isn't download any email.

If I delete the variable from "When received date is before" the bot download all the emails.

 

Thank you,

Raul

Hi @Raul Patcas​ ,

 

Can you check the Date value by adding a Message box?

And if I put the same variable in "When received date is on or after" everything works fine.

HI @Raul Patcas​ ,

 

Please go through below synopsis of each option,

 

  1. Optional: In the When received date is on or after list, select an option to retrieve specific emails on or after a certain date.
  2. Optional: In the When received date is on or before list, select an option to retrieve specific emails on or before a certain date.

Hello @Carlos Torres​ ,

 

I manage to avoid it by changing the connection server (from EWS server to Email server).

 

Try that and let me know if it works.

Hello @Carlos Torres​ 

 

I have done the below steps for Outlook

 

  1. Date time to String command-> Convert the system date to string variable with custom format yyyy/MM/dd or dd/MM/yyyy
  2. Date Time Assign command -> Convert the Step 1 string variable as date with the custom format used in Step 1
  3. In loop, use the step 2 date variable in "when to receive option"

 

Earlier I have faced the same issue while using the system date directly, but after this conversion, its working fine for me.

I need to use Previous Month First Date and Last Date while reading the email. I can get the dates either from Excel or VB Script but both will return values in string variable.

I converted the string to datetime variable. After that system is not reading the email.

 

If anyone has does this, please help
