Try searching MSDN for "CDO" - Collaboration Data Objects - the new 
buzword for these technologies.

This search resulted in a few overviews and samples that may point you 
in the right direction.

If you dont mind browsing, use makepy then check out the generated .py 
file (in the win32com\gen_py directory).  This should show you all the 
methods and properties - just no info on how to use them ;)
