Hi,
I am very new to Python.
Need to know if I can achieve this with Python:
~ Read a mail from Outlook 2000 Clinet (or may be from Exchange server =
directly; but from the Client machine)
~ The mail will be filtered for certain words in subject / body (I want =
to read only one perticular mail I will recieve every week)
~ Find (make code guess) a string within the mail. (Basically its a UNC =
path that keeps changing according to the subfolders. The name of the =
machine is same so i have to write something which can guess (find) the =
UNC path within the mail (Its something like \\fileserver\foo\abc which =
can change to \\fileserver\foo\xyx)
~ Open this UNC path and copy the contents to a local folder.
Thanks for the help.
