Retrieve email messages in PAD 'From' data

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

Hi Team,

I am reading outlook mail message and trying to extract %CurrentItem2['From']% information, For most of the mail messages I am getting required information However for some mails instead of 'from' information data like 'EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (ambfse)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=****sd-' got extracted.

other data like %CurrentItem2.Subject%%CurrentItem2.Date% got extracted correctly. 

What could be a potential reason?

 

Thanks

    Email addresses from your own domain are shown as EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP BLA BLA.

    As far as I know, there is no solution to this at the moment.

    The CN number is unique.  If you get the entire CN number every time, you can extract the CN from RetrievedEmails[Index].'[From]'; however, mine gets cut off and I don't have access to the whole CN #.

    @Amit_Chaudhary  I agree with @Henrik_M's response. This has nothing to do with PAD but with Outlook and the way your organisation has made configurations.
