Return message body using IMAP (Asset POP3/SMTP/IMAP v10.3.3)

AidanMcArdle — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 14:31:24 GMT

Hello,

I am looking to extend the functionality of the IMAP/POP3/SMTP email asset ( https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/3439/solution/email---pop3smtp )

I cannot use POP3 on my client site due to the way it works with files, so I am restricted to the IMAP/SMTP actions.

The object contains the action 'IMAP List Messages' which nearly carries out the functionality I require - this returns a collection with From Name, From Address, Subject, Date Sent & MessageID.

Two questions then;

1) For the short-term, how can edit the code in this action to return the message body as well?

2) For the long-term, where can I request more functionality added to the asset?

Thanks for any responses.

Thanks for the link Luis.

I have figured out the message body here, extending the code with an extra line

Message_Body = result.HtmlBody;

now retrieves the body of the mail including HTML.

A follow-on question if anyone is reading. I'm looking to get the received timestamp as DateTime instead of Date. I could also make use of the 'To' address if it could be pulled.
