Hi Team,

 

  I am using PAD for read outlook emails and store the email details. (From, subject etc)

The CurrentMail is mail object variable and now it is displaying in PAD as general value variable.

 

Unable to understand why this variable type has been changed and throwing error , when i am trying to access To mail now using %CurrentMail.To% . Kindly assist.

    %CurrentMail['To']%

     

    I don't know why, but this is how From/To have to be done.  They are not .To and .From.  No idea why they decided to treat these two differently.

     

    Good luck!

    Thank you for the solution. There is a query on CurrentMail variable.

    when i created the flow the CurrentMail variable was a outlook email message (Type) .

     

    when i created a copy of the same flow and renamed , the CurrentMail variable has changed to General value (Type) in this created copy. Also I have upgraded the PAD to 2.17.169.22042.  Could you please provide any suggestion on this scenario.

     

    Thank you,

    Not sure. I would rebuild the Retrieve Emails command and the for each command and see if that fixes it. Good luck!
