Appian RPA Outlook Error

Hi, i have the same error, have you solved yet?

I think it's maybe because i have no retention policies defined

I have a workaround, in case you don't have to attach files:

- Instead of doing this (according to documentation):

IOlMailItem newMail = new OlMailItem();
newMail.setSubject("Subject for IJidokaOutlook mail");
newMail.setTo("toAccount@myCompany.com");
newMail.setCc("ccAccount@myCompany.com");
newMail.setBody("Body for IJidokaOutlook mail");
IOlMailItem createdMail = outlook.getOlMailManager().createMail(newMail, true);
         
outlook.getOlMailManager().addAttachmets(createdMail, "C:\\temp\\attachment.pdf");
 
outlook.getOlMailManager().sendMail(createdMail);

- You do this (send your newMail without creating):

IOlMailItem newMail = new OlMailItem();
newMail.setSubject("Subject for IJidokaOutlook mail");
newMail.setTo("toAccount@myCompany.com");
newMail.setCc("ccAccount@myCompany.com");
newMail.setBody("Body for IJidokaOutlook mail");
 
outlook.getOlMailManager().sendMail(newMail);

I had the same error reading mails from a folder, did u solved that?

Hi Carlos, I tried to close the outlook application and run the bot, the issue got resolved. Please post the execution logs so that i can help you. thanks

Hello, didn't work in my case. 

The exception is thrown when I'm trying to access to a mail inside a folder.

This is the error that is shown in the log

And this is the code to open the folders and read the mail.

	private void initOutlook() {
		server.info("Show Folders:");
		IOlFolderFW criteria = new OlFolderFW();
		IOlMailItemFW criteriaMail = new OlMailItemFW();
		criteria.setFolderPath(pathToMails);
		criteriaMail.setSubject("TEST");
		List<IOlFolder> folderList = outlook.getOlFolderManager().getAllMailFoldersList();
		for (IOlFolder iOlFolder : folderList) {
			if (iOlFolder.getFolderPath().equals(pathToMails)) {
				outlook.getOlFolderManager().getMailList(iOlFolder.getEntryID());
				break;
			}
		}
	}

jacinths0002  - Hello There, Can you please elucidate me on the detailed step of how to include those jars and dependencies for outlook module please ? Either through workflow module or code library is fine.
