Hello,

I have been contemplating Python for a while, and when I found this
article (http://www.xml.com/pub/a/ws/2003/05/13/email.html), I decided
that it was time to try!
I installed everything that I can think off: Python 2.3.3, pywin32-200,
and spambayes-1.0a9. But despite my best effort my first Python script
does not take off!
When I try to launch the MAPI extractor I get this error:
--------------- START PASTE ------------------
h:\>c:\Python23\python.exe h:\src\outlook_extractor.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "h:\src\outlook_extractor.py", line 4, in ?
    from win32com.mapi import mapi, mapiutil
  File "win32com\mapi\mapi.pyc", line 9, in ?
  File "win32com\mapi\mapi.pyc", line 7, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

h:\>
---------------  END PASTE  ------------------

I have tried just about every trick I can think off. No luck !!! I would
really appreciate if someone would point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
/Sebast.
