It has issues with emails that have attachments that have special characters in the attachment names.
Found issue with the activity:
Scenario : If .eml file having attachments with same File name then by default, attachments are downloaded in Temp file directory with speacial character "()" including sequencing integers and later Save attachment activity failed to download attachment by applying Filter condition as File Name due to string includes special character "()" .
Have noticed when activity converts .eml into MailMessage Object the same time it converts duplicate attachment file name with sequencing -- (1), (2) etc... Thus believe we can restrict the speacil char addtions with some other char e.g. "_"
Note: Save Attachments Activity have limitations when special characters present in the Filter Condition, here in this scenario - "(" and ")" in File name
Very useful component for processes where a large number of emails have a high percentage of attachments of various MSFT file types. The potential for polling of such attachments and the ability to categorise them according to sender, subject matter, context of usage is quite interesting even if controlled manual interventions to tweak results are sometimes needed, but the benefit far exceeds the latter. Thank you, we will surely continue to test this component and see where improvements could be made. Great work !
Great job! Thx for sharing!
- I could easily read the .eml file saved from Gmail.A temporary storage folder for attached files is created in C: \ temp, but I think it would be good if you could specify the location of the temporary storage folder.
Great Component - Fills a need that I've seen multiple times throughout the UiPath forums. Great work Catalin!
Great Component - It is a good tool to catch up an email from file. Sometimes that way need to solve our challenge.
