Move action

The Move action in the Email package enables you to move an email from one folder to another in the mailbox. Use this action within a Loop action.

Settings

  • In the Session name field, enter the name of the session that you used to connect to the email server in the Connect action.
  • In the Destination folder path in the mailbox field, provide the path to the destination folder where you want to move the email. For example, Inbox/finance/1
  • Keep the following considerations in mind when you use the Move action:
    • You must use this action inside a loop.
    • When you connect with an Email server and use the IMAP protocol, ensure that you use the Move action as the last action in the email loop.
    • This action is not supported for POP3 connections.
    • The bot encounters an error if the Delete action is used before the Move action.
    • If you are connecting to Outlook, we recommend that you to use a Delay action after the Move action. (Specify a maximum delay of more than 2 seconds). Delay is based on Outlook client performance.
    • For improved performance when moving a large number of emails, considering latency issues with the Outlook client, we recommend using the Move all action instead of Move action when you want to move more than 500 emails.
