Delete deleted Items from Outlook 365

Posted on by TilmanII

Hi,

I'm currently trying to build a flow that checks every week if there are older emails than 93 days in the deleted folder in Outlook and deletes them.

there are two issues at hand:
1. there is a limit to how many emails I can get from the folder structure via "get emails", 25 to be specific, which is hilariously low. but getting it greater seems impossible. before I can check if I can go around that with the sorting direction of the folder there is the other issue at hand.
2. the get emails function gives me back an empty array. this function only gets me back emails that are marked unread, and I cant find a way to switch that off, so it can count the others as well. and marking everyting unread in the deleted folder is just a hazard for errors.

does anyone have an idea to solve issue two?
issue one might be solvable via recursive but I can only test if I can solve issue 2.

Thanks for the help.

I disabled it since I figured both kinds would be counted/ "grabbed" if not checked.
But it seems deactivated it ignores read ones like the name suggests if i read more carefully).

Thanks for the check.

Hi,

it seems like making the check recursive doenst work as I'm not able to get past the first 25 files which are not needed to be deleted....
has anyone ideas how to make it work with folders bigger than 25 emails?
