Hello, I can't figure out how to get old email attachments from gmail to save to onedrive. The flow only works on new email?

    Hi @tracieb :

    This can be done, but getting the right message id is a challenge.

    My Flow:

    About how to get the message id:

    1\Open the email which includes the attachments

    2\Click "F12" to browse the web code (I am using the Chrome browser)

    3\Search for "message-id" to get the real message id
