I am using n8n cloud and trying to get ms outlook trigger to read my emails. It works but only pulls old sent emails.

Hi @frankjr13,
I’ve had trouble with that node as well. Here’s how I get around it. I bring in all emails from the last day, and track them with a google sheet or other database. Test if the email has allready gone through the workflow, and take action if it hasn’t.
Best,
Robert
I have a similar problem. In my case, the Outlook node/trigger is assigned to a “folder” and even if I manually move emails to that folder, the trigger never executes.
I always have to run it manually to get it to work…

thats strange, when u say run manually do u mean in the gui of n8n?
Exactly, I have to run it in “test mode” and it recovers the last email in that “mapped” folder. If I put it in production, it doesn’t do anything; it moves an email from the inbox to that specific folder (whether the email is open or unopened).
With user @rbreen solution it will surely work, because I have also tried using the “get many” node instead of the Outlook trigger and downloading as many messages as I want from that mapped folder…
It’s as if the trigger mode doesn’t detect that there are new emails in that folder (open or unopened).
I’ve looked at the Docker log and I don’t see anything relevant that indicates any kind of error.
