Hi Sri,
Thank you so much for the reply. Really appreciate it.
I had thought this might be related to the Firewall. However, I connected
to VPN and then tried executing the same program. It still ended in error.
Few pointers that I would like to bring to your notice.
a) The Ping to my mail.o365.<company>.com (This is my outlook server)
doesn't work. But I am able to open my emails via http using the same.
b) I tried to use imaplib.IMAP_SSL.open method and found the below error -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Sreekul\Python\Dev\sree.py", line 3, in <module>
mail.open()
File "C:\Python27\lib\imaplib.py", line 1177, in open
self.sock = socket.create_connection((host, port))
File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 575, in create_connection
raise err
error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it
The Outlook 365 server IMAP port is 993.
I will try to implement the library you gave, but could you please shed
some light about what is happening here.
Thank you again.
Regards,
Sreekul Nair
