Hey @Hemant, looping through emails and downloading the attachments in a good example of automation and it can be achieved using UiPath Studio. Following steps can automate this task:

1.  Create a new Sequence and drag Get POP3 Mail Messages activity. Then create email, password and mailList variables and assign your login credentials like mail_id and password to email and password variables.

2. Now go to the Properties of Get POP3 Mail Messages and set Port as 995, Server as "pop.gmail.com'. In Logon section enter your email and password variables. Also store output of this activity into mailList.

3. Next, add a ForEach activity to loop through the mailList. In Properties, set Type Argument as System.Net.Mail.MailMessage:
 


 

4. Inside ForEach, drag If activity to check whether the mail has an attachment or not

5. If the email contains an attachment, then use Save Attachment activity to save that attached file. 

Then simply go to the downloaded files folder and you can find all the attachments from your emails.

getting below error please advise:

Get POP3 Mail Messages: An error occurred while attempting to establish an SSL or TLS connection.

One possibility is that you are trying to connect to a port which does not support SSL/TLS.

The other possibility is that the SSL certificate presented by the server is not trusted by the system for one or more of the following reasons:
1. The server is using a self-signed certificate which cannot be verified.
2. The local system is missing a Root or Intermediate certificate needed to verify the server's certificate.
3. The certificate presented by the server is expired or invalid.

See https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit/blob/master/FAQ.md#InvalidSslCertificate for possible solutions.

Did you try if telnet is working?

Execute below command in command prompt

telnet <<Host_Name>> <>

See if your firewall is blocking it.

First of all you need to setup POP3 and SMTP for your gmail, if it's done by you and you are still facing some issue, then do a fresh setup of POP3 and SMTP again, if you face any issues after that it could probably be due to gmail error 007
