Retreive Emails from Subfolder in Outlook

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bmcdon46 5

I have two subfolders that were already created and has emails in them already. I'm trying to retrieve the emails from the respective subfolders that are nested as such: Inbox --> Survey Score --> Good Surveys (subfolder 1) & Bad Surveys (subfolder 2). 

 

Is it possible to retreive the messaged from these subfolders or would I have to put the messages back into my inbox and create a new folder using PAD?

 

Thanks!

    This can be done with the "Retrieve email messages in Outlook" action. Under the "Mail Folder" box, type out the path to the folder.

    In your case, you would replace it with: "inbox\survey scores\good surveys" - "inbox\survey scores\bad surveys"
