Werner,
I'm not sure I understand the benefit of being locked into the
proprietary and awkward MAPI protocol?
Why can't you use industry standard SMTP to send your messages? Simpler
and more portable.
I already offer the SMTP option, i.e. there are two buttons, one is
using smtplib and the other uses MAPI.
As Simon pointed out some users don't like that a message is sent where
they don't see what is being sent (they actually do in my case as I show
the details of the error and on that dialog they click one of the two
buttons).

I first tried this having Thunderbird as my MAPI client, then installed
Windows Live Email (I want to test MAPI with one of the "newer" MS Mail
clients) and defined it as the MAPI client (Default Programs - MAPI),
still same result.
Any hints on what I am doing wrong here would be very much welcomed.
I am on Windows 7, Python 2.5.4, py2in32 build 210.

Just came accross Tim Golden's site
(http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/read-my-outlook-inbox.html)
and
tried this:
session = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("MAPI.Session")
But I do get the same exception.
Have a look at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support
which explains that TB (like OE) only supports "Simple MAPI". There's
a whole confusion of terminology around this area, but I'm afraid that
the bottom line is: the only client which really supports CDO, ie
MAPI.Session
is the full Outlook client. It's just about possible to use CDO without
installing Outlook (by installing some standalone package whose name
escapes me)
I found this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E17E7F31-079A-43A9-BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=en
At least I get past the above error, will see how far I get with this.
but that still only gives you access to Exchange, not to
whatever interface TB exposes.
Clients and me using TB are fine, I support that with the simplemapi.py
(http://www.johnnypops.demon.co.uk/python/simplemapi.py) and it works
fine, but clients who use Outlook (e.g. Office 11) get a MAPI error 2
(failure).

I don't want to use Outlook, but I like to provide an additional way of
sending problem reports from within my application to me (MAPI,
smtplib), so hoped that I could use extended MAPI stuff.
I guess I just have to get my hands onto an Outlook to be able to test
this stuff.
