- You must use the Save email action within a loop. Use the For each mail in mail box iterator to repeat a set of actions on all the emails within the specific parameters. See the following links:
- 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 Save emails to folder field, specify the location to
save the email.Note: This field is not case-sensitive.
- Overwrite file(s): select this option to overwrite the existing file with the same name. If this option is not selected, the email message is saved with the same filename suffixed with a numeric value; it does not overwrite the existing file.
Note: Microsoft Outlook supports this action.
