Look at this example

This example demonstrates how to download message by criteria and save attachment into desired folder
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Thanks, it works

but sometimes the tasks stops because of the error: "Timeout error occurred" during the step "IMAP download message"...how can I bypass the timeout?

Posted: **Thu Jul 09, 2015 2:05 pm**

What is the size of the message?

Posted: **Thu Jul 09, 2015 2:51 pm**

there are 4 attached files:
2.5 MB
48.6 KB
1.9 MB
48.6 KB

I deleted that mail and it seemed to be ok, but after 20 downloads the timeout error occured during the step "IMAP mail loop", not during the download...isn't it strange?

We will investigate this.
Now you can try to use POP3. RoboTas has similar actions for POP3 protocol

It works perfectly with POP3
