Awesome Vid thanks to you i got an idea to automate a redundant task i do every day at work. Would be good if i could get some guidance here I only started learning python recently. Is there a way to get emails during a specific time. My code involves with doing automating something i am able to complete the automation part but am stuck with the part to get emails during a specific time. I used GetLast() to get the last email.
Hi Bro, Thank you for making this video. It is really helpful for everyone. Could you please make an another video, how to copy excel table with specific range and paste in outlook body of email using python.
@Izzy Analytics Thanks so much for the video but i am getting error while searching a keyword in body part. I have around 500 emails in Inbox. mes1 = [message for message in inbox.Items if 'Pay' in message.Body] Please help me and let me know if i am making any mistakes
Hi Izzy, thx for such a great video series. I'm trying to move my mails into another folder. My "for" loop works but get somehow interupted. 4 out of 7 emails moves in the first run. I just start the same loop again, this time 2 of 3. And one more time to start the loop and finaly all are in the right folder. I've tried it with a while loop - same result. Do you have any idea? Maybe my Outlook 365 interupt the access of a 3rd software?
You may need to create a reference to the emails first by adding them to a list. Then, you can iterate over the list to perform your actions. I've found that iterating over the COM objects directly causes the iteration to get out of sync.
@@izzyanalytics4145 one more question. I want to handle attachments and save them on my computer. Do i really need to use getFirst() and getNext() to handle? I already have all mails in a list to work with. But when Im using .Attachments, i get an error.
This is a script that I used to demonstrate how to download attachments. Let me know if this works for your case.: github.com/israel-dryer/Outlook-Python-Tutorial/wiki/Download-email-attachments
How much would it take to implement a bayesian filter that filters your incoming emails like spam filters, but distinguishing not just ham and spam but multiple types of ham?
Hi is python able to find an email using the email subject in all of the folders (including the sub folders) e.g. I want to find an email with subject 'happy' but it is in one of the sub folders. Can I find the email without knowing which sub folder it is in?
Hi Izzy thanks for cool secession.... >> can we do-- the multiple mail(eg- 3-5) can we consolidate in one mail(With attachment) and send it to particular mail.. via Outlook.
Izzy, great short how to video!! I would love to see how to access archive .pst files. I opened a .PST from my portable drive into my outlook, but it did not see the Archive folder. Also would love to see how to just save any attachments into a specified folder.
Great Video, very helpful! This is almost what I want to do. I am wondering if you could write a few words or create a new video on the following. I get a lot of emails and I want to reply to specific emails that contain specific words such as java with a specific message and words such as python with specific message on a continuous basis. Any ideas on this? Thank you!
Hi Izzy, Thank you so much for detailed explanation, I have one important doubt, it is " When I'm in cc of a received email in Outlook, how can I fetch the Recipient's email adress with reference to specific Sender's email id", Thanks in advance for the Help.

Hello Lzzy, Good Evening, I need your help as I am totally fresher in Python but I have one assignment assigned my my teacher. The assignment is to create python script which can move outlook mails only when the condition and time matched. The condition is inside the mailbox if that mail contains "Rating..................Red" and the mail is comes in between from today 9 PM to morning 9 AM then move to a folder which is present in outlook named as "Ignore" and 2nd condition is if mail contains "Rating..................Red" but now the time is different like if mail comes in between from morning 9 AM to night 9 PM then move to folder "Ignore" which is already created in the outlook. Please help me . Thank you so much in Advance
Good morning. I referenced the video to control Outlook with Python. But I have a problem, can I know which one is the problem? The problem is as follows: When printing the subject and contents of the mail in the inbox, the subject is displayed normally, but when printing the contents, the following error is finally displayed. ->"com_error: (-2147467259,'Unspecified error', None, None)" In Google search, I found the advice to untick the antivirus app in Option-addon-manager-Com addin. It doesn't seem right for me. How can I solve this problem? For reference, this is a problem in the company PC. The same code works fine at home.
hello, I am trying to access inbox folder emails. It is only able to extract only some emails but not all, can you please tell why I am not getting all the emails and can you tell me how to get them all
@@izzyanalytics4145 import win32com.client as client outlook1 = client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI") account= outlook1.Folders["emailid"] print(account.Name) inbox = account.Folders["Inbox"] print(inbox.Name) Here I want to extract all the emails present in the inbox folder. But it is returning only some email. Basically it's not returning the emails which are obtained by clicking the click to view more in outlook available at the bottom of the emails
Ok. So if I understand correctly... it's returning the emails that are in your Outlook client, but not the additional emails available and stored on the email server?
Win32 can only work with emails that are on your local machine. It doesn't have access to anything on the server. You would either need to change your caching options to cache all the emails on the local machine, or use some kind of IMAP or SMPT access point. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/troubleshoot/installation/cached-exchange-mode
Hi. I'm trying to get the sender email address, but for Exchange addresses the format is not what I want. I've been searching the net to get SMTP address but whatever I find did not work. Can you please look into it and find a solution? Thanks a lot.
You can access the sender email address with the SenderEmaikAddress property docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.mailitem.senderemailaddress
@@izzyanalytics4145 I'm doing that. But if the address is an Exchange address, the format is not the regular 'id@domain'. It's difficult to explain here, you will understand what I mean if you check yourself. Getting the SMTP address from Exchange accounts is where I'm stuck.

I haven't found a clean way to do this yet. But, I'll let you know when I do. Essentially, you'll need to find a way to query the "GAL" to get the`PrimarySmtpAddress` on the ExchangeUser object. I'll let you know if I figure it out. Will you keep me posted as well in case you find the solution before I do.
