Retrieved Email in Power Automate Desktop

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working with Power Automate Desktop and trying to retrieve email messages from Outlook using the "Retrieve email messages from Outlook" action. I've successfully accessed the subject of the email using the syntax %RetrievedEmail[0].Subject%.

However, I'm having trouble accessing the "To" field of the email. When I try to use %RetrievedEmail[0].To%, I encounter a syntax error. I suspect this is because the "To" field might contain multiple recipients.
I attempted to access individual recipients with %RetrievedEmail[0].To[0]%, but that also didn't work.

Could someone please help me understand the correct way to access the "To" field, especially if it contains multiple email addresses? Any guidance on how to retrieve the first recipient or handle multiple recipients would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
