Hi,

I tried to follow the code on this link http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2004-August/002239.html

This worked fine for me on win7 with Outlook2k7 (CDO were installed separately), However this failed to work on winxp with sp2 and outlook2k7 (with CDO installed) with following trace-back....

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\send1kMail.py", line 73,
 in <module>
    SendEMAPIMail(SendSubject, SendMessage, SendTo, MAPIProfile=MAPIProfile)
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\send1kMail.py", line 28,
 in SendEMAPIMail
    outboxfolder = msgstore.OpenEntry(eid,None,mapi.MAPI_BEST_ACCESS)
TypeError: EntryID must be a string or None

Am I missing any additional components for WinXP?

The eid variable at line 27 has a value of -2147221233...

Thanks,
Varun
