MailKit

Using the “MailKit” Library in the Voodoo RPA Studio

If you have used the IE-mail listening step in your processes, it saves the incoming e-mails in the file you specify in .eml format. Attachment from email, CC, Mail to, Subject etc. If you want to get the “MailKit, MimeKit” library, you need to use.

Not : Libraries;

• using System.Buffers
• using System.Linq
• using MailKit
• using MimeKit

• • Steps to help when using:

1. System.Buffers.dll, It comes by default in VooDoo Studio and must be used when using the MimeKit Library. Download .Buffers.dll”> from here and add it back to the EDE File references.
Respectively; You can reference the library by going to
Advanced -> Code -> Action -> Open Editor -> Manage -> File References -> Add You can use these steps to reach the point that described before and refer System.Buffer.dll library to VooDoo RPA Studio.

2. MimeMessage.Load(“”) : The file path you specified in the E-mail listening step. (folder containing .eml files)

3. MimeMessage.Load(“”).Attachments.ToList() : Finds and lists Attachments in “.eml” file

4. MimeMessage.Load(“”).Subject.ToString() : Parses the Subject Content of the “.eml” file and turns it into a textual structure

5. MimeMessage.Load(“”).HtmlBody.ToString() : Parses the Mail Content of the “.eml” file and turns it into a textual structure

Example #1

The Example below shows how to parse E-Mail Attachment, Subject, E-Mail Text Content from “.eml” file.
