I didn't want to use Outlook to read my e-mail, so I needed a
way to get them onto a non-MS box. The only way to suck my
e-mails out of the MS server was to use the COM API built into
Outlook.
I didn't have any development tools on the Windows machine and
wasn't about to pay MS for a C/C++ compiler.
Google found me an example of doing COM stuff using Python.
It turns out that using Python was way easier than using C
would have been.
