Check mail and download attached file

[Gekseppe]

Hi.

I get struck in writing a task with the following purposes:

1. Check if there are new e-mail;
2. If there are new mails then download attached file in a folder;
3. Delete e-mail.

It seems easy but, the way I did gave the following problems:

1. if there are no mails task falls in error;
2. If there are more than one mail task falls in error due to "invalid number of message".

Please could you provide a sample ?

Thank you and regards,

Also you can check the existence of messages on server by using Check for Email action.
