Reading unread emails

Hello,

I am trying to use the Email - POP3/SMTP Business Object in Blue Prism. I only want to read the unread emails in the mailbox and collect their attachments. Is there a way to do this in Blue Prism? I see I can use the List Messages Action, but I don't want to read all of the emails.

Thank you

You can use the object MS Outlook Email VBO, provided by Blue Prism.
If you can't find it in Blue Prism, you can import it from C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\VBO (or similar)

There you have the action: "Get Received Items (Basic)", where you can get only unread e-mails.
To get the attachment, you have in the same object an action called "Saved Attachments".

Hope it helps.
