Hello,

I use the Power Flow that automatically saves email attachments to OneDrive. Is there a way to get the flow to manually run through my entire inbox. I essentially need to do this only once.

Thank you.

@bbanic23 you can use Get Emails action to get emails from the inbox and then add apply to each action to loop through emails and add get attachment action inside the apply to each action to get attachment and save it to onedrive

@bbanic23 configure your flow as follows:

Configure the Get Emails action as follows, you can apply more settings, like select specific folder, change Top count - count of emails to be returned by this action, apply filters like from, to, etc. I would suggest to apply more filters to narrow down the number of emails to be returned by this action

Then loop through value (items from Get Emails) using Apply to each action, then again loop through attachments of email inside the Apply to each using Apply to each again, see below screenshot for reference, then get the attachment and save it to onedrive.

@MelGen are you looking for emails within specific date range? You can try using search query on Get Emails action to get emails of certain dates.
