We are using Exchange Server + Outlook clients. I've done something similar with Perl&Excel but Outlook is totally different. Every code example that I've found with Outlook deals with taking data out of the Contacts list. Do you have a code example on how to get to a message body/subject/time?? I tried it and everything seriously broke.

The Perl script while using SMTP does _not_ generate the 'Sent' field for the message header. The Perl script is cast in political cement and is immutable. Rule Wizard is used in Outlook 2002 to sort/triage the messages to different folders for each facility or type of problem encountered. Desired goal is to be able to programmatically read through all these emails to generate a consolidated report. Using the example from pages 278-281 of 'Python Programming on Win32', have been able to loop through all of the messages in a given folder. The message body, sender, and subject line are all easily accessible. Tried various resources and the web site mentioned on page 281 to find the message attribute that would give me the date/time that a file was received without success. This is a snippet of what I've gotten working so far: from win32com.client import Dispatch s=Dispatch("Mapi.Session") s.Logon() messages = s.Inbox.Folders("Production").Folders("RegionI").Folders("test").Messages msg = messages.GetFirst() while msg is not None: if msg.Subject == "test02": print msg.Sent print "got message", msg.Sender.Name, msg.Subject, msg.Text msg = messages.GetNext() Interestingly enough, that 'print msg.Sent' will cause the character '1' to be printed to the screen. This could be due that the message had been sent and that attribute would be true. Desired Goal: Access the date/time that a message was received so that an 'if' statement could be written to select only those messages for the current date. Such as: if msg.Date == currentDate: do processing here< Any help would be appreciated.
