Saving Outlook Email as an Outlook file creating file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

Although, this is saving the file but when I open the file, it is showing me some random HTML tags only. Although, when I save the file type as '.pdf', it shows the content in PDF file but I only need the file to be opened directly into Outlook application. Have already tried.

    Hi @nitinrajput9999 ,

     

    If you want to open the eml file in Outlook, please download it locally and open it with Outlook software.

    The eml file you open in OneDrive is the preview format of the email.

     

     

    Best regards,

    Rimmon

    Thanks Rimmon! Truly appreciate your response. I was doing it incorrectly, have used the 'Condition' to validate the keyword in Subject field and now the email is saving in One Drive and I am also able to open it correctly. 🙂
