Hi,

You could use this:

RPA.Outlook.Application library | Robocorp documentation

Or use python imaplib and create your own script or keyword.

Hi Shiva,

There are a bunch of different ways you might be approaching this, so mentioning the library you’re currently using and what errors your getting along with the line that triggered it would help us to guide you.

If this is a question about which library to use, well it depends on what your test requirements are. e.g:

• if you don’t care about outlook specifically you can use pop3 or imap protocols to read the email data. e.g.:
  • GitHub - noubar/RobotFramework-MailClientLibrary: Adds the feature of sending and recieving emails to Robot Framework.
  • GitHub - rickypc/robotframework-imaplibrary: IMAP email testing library for Robot Framework
• Another option is to use the Outlook Web Client, and use one of the browser automation libraries
  • SeleniumLibrary
  • browser Library
• If you do need to care about, then you need mention which OS you are useing
  • FlaUI and AutoIT should work for automating the Outlook Desktop Client on Windows, but won’t work on MacOS

You need to give more detail about your issue so we can help you,

Dave.
