Not really.  It is not clear why you want to move the zipped files to the
'outbox' directory and later move them to the 'sent' directory (which is not
listed in your objectives).  Maybe you are refering to different files here?

Regardless, the modules 'os' and 'zipfile' should have everything you need.
