Question

Hi, I am using outlook and I want to connect to a shared mailbox with A360, so I can read emails from that mailbox. I see in some posts on this forum that that functionality isn't available (yet?). Does anyone have a workaround for this problem?

Hi @Leon Zwinderman​ ,

 

Could you try passing in the folder path into the Loop Action: mail in mail box Action as shown the screenshot below?

Also, the Email: Connect Action lets you select between accounts:

Hi @Leon Zwinderman​ ,

 

Even passing RPA_TEST_Postvak_IN into the Folderpath doesn't let you loop through the mails?

Kind Regards,

Hi Ashwin,

 

Thanks I tried that. It works for accessing subfolders on my own account, but not the shared mailbox. To give more context, I want to access the 'RPA_TEST_Postvak_IN' shared mailbox

unfortunately, it can't loop nor can I find it using the "Email: Check if folder exists" action. Which bot agent version are you using, because the functionality you show here aren't available in my version:

I'm using Bot agent version 16.7 do I need to upgrade to connect to the shared mailboxes?

Hi,

 

I’m also facing the same issue with Shared mail box, unable to move all UNREAD emails from Inbox to a subfolder.

I’ve used “Move all emails”, “Move email in loop” commands, execution counter is moving forward but neither mails are moving nor throwing any error.

Are there any workarounds available?

 

Thank you.
