# Resolve Retrieve Call Errors

This page contains information about resolving errors during a Retrieve call.

## Why Resolve Retrieve Call Errors

You can eliminate the cause of these errors preventing you from correctly performing calls using the Retrieve method.

## How to Resolve Retrieve Call Errors

When performing a Retrieve call (usually on the Email object), you may see the following exception:

`Error in deserializing body of reply message for operation 'Retrieve'`

To resolve this exception, increase the maxStringContentLength within the readerQuotas configuration for your customBinding from the default of **8192** to account for the large tag content for the HTMLBody. Integrate the following into your web.config/app.config to resolve this error:

```xml
<customBinding>
<binding name="SoapBinding" closeTimeout="00:35:00" openTimeout="00:35:00"
    receiveTimeout="00:35:00" sendTimeout="00:35:00">
    <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport"></security>
        <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap12WSAddressingAugust2004">
        <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
            maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647"              />
        </textMessageEncoding>
    <httpsTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="655360000"></httpsTransport>
</binding>
</customBinding>

```
