Outlook-MAPI

[V.C.Sekhar]

Hi there,

Can any one please help in getting me Python-Outlook
programming issue clarified.

I just wanted to do the following using Python:

1)Open a New Oulook Mail Window

2) Fill the field: to-email address and Write some body to it.(I
DON't want to send it automatically)

That's all. But, I am getting an error when I try to initiate the
MAPI-Session using

object = win32com.client .Dispatch("Outl ook.Application ")

ns = object.GetNames pace("MAPI")

mapi = win32com.client .dynamic.Dispat ch("MAPI.sessio n")

Error I see is :

File "C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCv s 2.0\Macros\Temp lateCvsMacro.py ",
line 140, in SendMAPIMail

mapi = win32com.client .Dispatch("MAPI .session")

File "C:\Python24\Li b\site-packages\win32c om\client\__ini t__.py",
line 95, in Dispatch

dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoo dDispatchAndUse rName
(dispatch,userN ame,clsctx)

File "C:\Python24\Li b\site-packages\win32c om\client\dynam ic.py",
line 91, in _GetGoodDispatc hAndUserName

return (_GetGoodDispat ch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)

File "C:\Python24\Li b\site-packages\win32c om\client\dynam ic.py",
line 79, in _GetGoodDispatc h

IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCre ateInstance(IDi spatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_I Dispatch)

pywintypes.com_ error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None,
None)

Can any one please help me in this regard.

Thanks,

Sekhar

This code should help.

code
import win32com.client
olMailItem = 0x0
obj = win32com.client .Dispatch("Outl ook.Application ")
newMail = obj.CreateItem( olMailItem)
newMail.Subject = "This works"
newMail.Body = "It worked aging\n"
newMail.display ()
