Here's the code I ended up trying to run:

------------------------------------------------------------
import win32com.client
import win32com.mapi.mapitags

session = win32com.client.Dispatch("MAPI.Session")
session.Logon("MS Exchange Settings")
outbox=session.Outbox
collmsg=outbox.Messages
msgo=collmsg.Add("subj text","message text",win32com.mapi.mapitags.PR_MESSAGE_CLASS,1)
msgo.Recipients.Add("grante at visi.com")
msgo.Sender.Address="grant.edwards at comtrol.com"
msgo.Send(1,0)
session.Logoff
------------------------------------------------------------

It bombs at line msgo.Sender.Address="" line with the following
error:

com_error: (-2147221233, 'OLE error 0x8004010f', (1271, 'Collaboration Data Objects', ' [Collaboration Data Objects - [MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND(8004010F)]]', None, 0, -2147221233), None)

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to win32 programming, so if
somebody could lend me a pointer, I'd appreciate it.

PS: Once I get the above example to work, what I _really_ want
    to do is to retreive messages from my inbox, but I can't
    figure out what operations are avaiable for mapi objects.
    
    Any pointers in that respect?
