This activity allows you to read a .eml file (email file) and to convert into a .Net MailMessage object. The .Net object can be handled in any RPA workflow as your automation requires.

Use cases:

*   an archive of saved emails can be easily transformed into a database table for ease of use
*   any saved .eml can be 'read' and be used as necessary (for example save the attachment or read that one too or respond to email sender automatically)
*   from an entire folder with .eml files you can search the one(s) corresponding to your needs (for example if you have an archive with emails containing reports, you can find the right one using this activity and looking into each MailMessage object for key words)

**NOTE**: Installation Guidelines for Custom Activities can be found [here](https://dmtyylqvwgyxw.cloudfront.net/instances/214/assets/help-guides/UiPath-Go-Installation-Guide-Custom-Activities.pdf).

This activity returns a .net MailMessage object, that can be handled by other existing activities, from a saved .eml file.
