Have you already create variable named "error" in your execution? The the logic only checks if the process variable (that holds exceptionVariableName) is present in the execution, the mail task will not create a new variable for you.

However, how i wrote above, it had created the variable with specified name and had written the error text to this variable. The only thing is that this text is not very informative.

I did not quite understand you, but, as I checked, an exception message is written to the 'error' variable.

what message do you get when you print your "error" variable?

The Mail Activity always writes a message ("Could not send e-mail in execution " followed by the executionId) in the exception variable (only if the exception is EmailException) but it logs the specific exception info in the console. so you'll have to create your own service to implement such exception/variable specific logic.

hope it helped
