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("Outlook.Application")

    ns = object.GetNamespace("MAPI")

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

 

Error I see is :

  File "C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 2.0\Macros\TemplateCvsMacro.py", 
line 140, in SendMAPIMail

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

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", 
line 95, in Dispatch

    dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
(dispatch,userName,clsctx)

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", 
line 91, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName

    return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", 
line 79, in _GetGoodDispatch

    IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, 
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)

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

 

Can any one please help me in this regard.

 

Thanks,

Sekhar
