Hi Ferosha,

The FileNotFoundException occurs when the specified file does not exist in the directory or there is no access to the file. Kindly check whether the file is present in the directory and there is sufficient access to the file.

Hi dineshd,

The plugin is able to read the msg file and populate all the outputs except generated document and attachments. We can see new documents in the folder where attachments would be read by the plugin and stored in, but the variables were not populated. It is also not generating the HTML document corresponding to the msg file

The plugin is able to read the MSG file and it is populated almost all the outputs, except the generated document and attachments.
We have 2 scenarios:
1. The msg file does not contain any attachments; in this case we can see the new generated document in the folder where the new files are stored, but the plugin throws the previous state error.
2. The msg file contains attachments; in this case we can see the attachments in the folder where the new files and attachments are stored, but we cannot see the generated msg file and the plugin throws the mentioned error.

Hello vigneshe,

Below are the steps that I followed.

1. Created a new PM and added Read MSG Node.

2. Configured all the rule inputs and outputs and passed in a sample .msg file in msgFile input.

3. Executed the PM in debug mode.

I was able to capture all the parameters including the document that was generated. But the document does not have any data.
