Posted on by rfahd 9

Hello!

I want to get the email of the recipient when using the retrieve email from outlook.

The output variable contains the following :
/O=EXCHANGELABS/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP /CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=.....-....

 

Could you please advise how to get the email content? 

 

Thanks.

    Hello
    Version 2.28 will now show the email in plaintext for both To, FROM and CC
    I have just tested it, and it works.

    Hi! Thank you so much for your response. Glad to hear the new updates.
    Unfortunately seems in my country the release is not yet available. I have 2.27. Once clicking on "check for updates"...no new updates. Shall wait and see.

    I got an automatic update on my local machine, but it will be available worldwide, within a few days.
