Hi, I've tried to create new email message in Outlook through "^(N)" value, but I've got entirely different window than standard window in Outlook for new message. When I try to manually push the combination of send keys Ctrl + N I have the standard window of new message. Unfortunatelly when the Blue Prism choose this combination it doesn't work. Then I have a yellow window that looks like sticky note, something similar. What can be a reason? P.K.

P.K Sure you can spy the Outlook application as you would any other. Not sure why you would want to though? - Tom

Using MapieX is the best way to create a new mail and send it. If you still want to use the other methods, then I think a good option for creating and sending new emails would be to use the pre-defined Email VBO if you can gets hand on the POP3/SMTP settings. Else, spying Oultook is an optiopn as well.

Yes, there are 2 options for that: 1. Email-POP3/SMTP object and 2. Blue Prism MapieX object Both have the basic functionality of Outlook.

Thanks Shreyans, I tried to use the MapieX object and send 3 parameters - To, Subject and Message. I am getting error Failure in Send Mail function of Blue Prism Extended MAPI Automation. Failed to adding BCC From the section of the code: For iRecipientElement = LBound(aRecipients) To UBound(aRecipients) If aRecipients(iRecipientElement) """" Then If Not mapiMessage.AddRecipient(aRecipients(iRecipientElement), mapiMessage.RecipientType.TO) Then Error_Message = ""Failure in Send Mail function of Blue Prism Extended MAPI Automation. Failed to adding BCC "" & aRecipients(iRecipientElement) Success = False GoTo done End If End If Next In the To parameter - I am sending only one email id in the format abcd@xyz.com

Looks like I missed out the "";"" at the end of the mail-id. This solved the problem
