Then it's most likely you don't want to talk to exchange at all, but
rather talk with Outlook. Outlook supports a COM Automation interface
and you can use it to do most of the things Outlooks does via the GUI,
although some of them are rather difficult. An example of COM
Automation with Outlook and Python can be found:

A paper on COM Automation and Outlook I wrote some time ago (in a
different programming language) has some pretty good references at the
end:
