MapiEx vs Outlook VBO

MayankGoyal2 — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 05:20:00 GMT

Hi,

I have to perform various actions on mail like - Get emails in a folder, Read Subject/Body, Download attachment, get From and CC details, Mark email as read, move to a different folder etc. Please suggest which will be better VBO for this - Mapiex or Outlook.
Also when I refer developer jumpstart, there are 2 mapiex VBO - MAPIEx VBO - HTML email, Blue Prism MAPIEx.
Which is the latest version?

I will recommend using the MS Outlook VBO included with Blue Prism from 6.4 and up. Also, the new version of this VBO that includes access to shared folder and other improvements is available from Blue Prism 6.8 and you can copy this VBO and used in previous versions of Blue Prism.

For this reason and more is better than MAPIEx because this one is not been updated since MAPIEx 2.0.6 (this is the last update for MAPIEx) and we have no plans for future changes or improvements.
