Any suggestion on Script to move an email from outbox to sent?

[Rain Vaine]

Hello experts,
I am still not very confident on my scripting ability, does anyone of you have any advise on how to move na email from outbox to sent in mailboxes using a background script?
I tried to apply the following script:

var outboxEmails = new GlideRecord('sys_email');

outboxEmails.addQuery('mailbox', 'outbox');

outboxEmails.addQuery('type', 'send-failed');

outboxEmails.query();

//Go trhough the email in outbox with all the type 'sent'

while(outboxEmails.next()) {

        outboxEmails.mailbox = 'sent'

        outboxEmails.update();

}

But it seems that is not really updating to sent.

Regards,

Hi @Rain Vaine 

Can you please try with below JavaScript code :

var outboxEmails = new GlideRecord('sys_email');
outboxEmails.addQuery('mailbox=failed^type=send-failed');
outboxEmails.query();
while(outboxEmails.next()) {
        outboxEmails.type = 'send-ready'
        outboxEmails.update();
}

Thanks & Regards
