Hello Tim,
Thanks for your response. After sending the post I was able to do
attachments but other properties like SenderEmailAddress are not working.
It gives me an AttributeError as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "autoMailer.py", line 146, in <module>
AutoMailSend()
File "autoMailer.py", line 27, in __init__
self.sendMail("Outlook")
File "autoMailer.py", line 118, in sendMail
mail.SenderEmailAddress = 'shashwat...@gmail.com'
File "C:\Python272\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line
470, i
n __setattr__
raise AttributeError("'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (repr(self),
attr
))
*AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Outlook 12.0 Object
Library._MailIte
m instance at 0x39818584>' object has no attribute 'SenderEmailAddress'*
C:\Temp>
I am confused as 'Attachments' works but not other properties. Could you
provide some more hints? I was also trying to add signature by doing:
mail.AddBusinessCard = 'Signature1'
but that too gave an error.
Thanks for your help.
Sinha.
