Do you mean, convert that number into the string MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND? In
general, no. Even the C API does not do that, because in C the symbol
MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND is just a compile-time alias for the number
0x8004010f. That is, the string "MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND" will not occur in
any C executable.
However, you can use the FormatMessage API to get a reasonable string
from that:
win32api.FormatMessage(0x8004010f)

I'm not sure it's possible to answer that question. You need to decide
that yourself. There are some errors you can recover from gracefully,
and for those you can check the numeric values individually. There are
other errors that you can't handle, and you shouldn't try. Either show
them to the user or let the program expire.
