Python script unable to connect to the Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.1020.100 (Production) with co pilot.

Sim, Edwin 5

I have this piece of example code below to create email template using python. It work in the old outlook version but throw an error (image below) with the new outlook version. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows of a solution :)

import win32com.client

from win32com.client import Dispatch, constants

const=win32com.client.constants

olMailItem = 0x0

obj = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")

newMail = obj.CreateItem(olMailItem)

newMail.Subject = "Subject Subject!!"

newMail.BodyFormat = 2 # olFormatHTML

newMail.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the <span style='color:red'>message</span> text here.</BODY></HTML>"

newMail.To = "******@test.com"

newMail.display()

Hi

Looks like your issue is more related to python, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. In order to better solve your problem, we will add "Office Development" tag.

As per my knowledge, you are using the new outlook app. This is a web app and unlike the old Outlook app, it does not store all the data in your local system. You need to explore Microsoft Graph API. You can explore more in the explorer: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer
