I'm trying to send an e-mail through outlook. So far I've gotten it to
work with the mail script at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/149461 My only
problem is that when I call Resolve() and Send(), I get confirmation
dialogs. I will be sending out quite a few e-mails at a time, and would
rather not have the user have to click yes for every single one. Does
anyone know a workaround? I know about smtplib, but I would prefer to
simply make what I have work. Thanks.

Alas, I dont think that there is much you can do to prevent the
confirmation dialogs with Outlook's MAPI dll. MS added them in a service
pack as an anti-virus measure, so no work-around. Not all clients show
these anoying dialogs though. Thunderbird definately doesn't.

There is actually a workaround. You're using Simple MAPI which has a
nice easy interface. The confirmation dialogs are only for Simple MAPI.
Using Extended MAPI can work around the problem but its a lot more tricky.
See the initial discussion here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mai...-win32/2160646
This code has now been included in pywin32 somehow but I can't remember
where and its late. Should also be a cookbook entry. Maybe Google can
help :-)

Cool. I'll take a look an' see if I can get it to work. MAPI has
turned out to be a major PITA. Especially when trying to learn it and
Python at the same time. :)

At the risk of beating a dead horse, but you really should consider
using SMTP instead if you are really going to be sending a lot
of messages. I think you will find it more reliable and much faster.
It also eliminates the need for ANY email client to be on the machine
that is sending the messages. http://motion.technolust.cx/related/send_jpg.py
Here is a link to a class that wraps everything up very nicely. You
should be able to be sending SMTP emails with it in 10-15 minutes.
It supports binary attachments as well.

The problem is that doesn't work in more complicated configurations
such as when authentication and/or SSL have to happen, not to mention
the issue of configuring servers and ports, that users have already
configured in their mail clients. Additionally when you use MAPI,
messages that you send also end up in your sent items folder. (I
also have not had any issue sending lots of messages using MAPI).
Ultimately the utility of vanilla of pure SMTP will depend on
customer requirements and how simple the configuration is.

Here is an simple workaround: http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/
If you have win32all installed, you can even use the programming API
they present to turn on and off the clickyes functionality.

There's recently been some discussion of this topic on the python-win32
list, most lately to accommodate moving sent messages to the Sent
folder. I've personally sent several hundred messages using the
techniques outlined there. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pyt...st/002239.html is
a good starting point.

I am essentially looking for a bit of code which will allow me to refer to an unspecified MAPI folder.

I then want to move the relevant email into that folder (which is why it is unspecified) does anybody know how I would go about this?
