I recently tried to automate outlook ( cant remeber
which version) via ruby. After all the viruses from a few years ago that did
this to send thousands of emails, it seems that MS now has a dialog that says "A
script is attempting to access outlook. Do you want to allow it to run
<ok> <cancel>" when ever a script tries to access outlook via ole.
THis was a roadblock for me.
As some one else has said its really easy to use
smtp/pop from ruby. THere is even a gmail module which you can use to get access
to your gmail account

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Outlook
Access
I have automated some activities in Outlook successfully
with VB. It was painful, mostly because of the completely bizarre object
architecture for MS Office products in general and Outlook in
particular. Intuitive it ain't; see the recent reference in this forum
to the weird approach to formatting a column in a spreadsheet in
Excel.
IRB is your friend in this case, for sure. But
there's another question that seems consistently to be begged: what
specific testing task are you trying to automate, and why? Is there a
way that you could cover the risk acceptably without devoting an ugly
little software development project to the problem?

i've tried google
first so it was no real help ^^ but i'll try that example maybe it can help
me
You might want to investigate the win32::guitest
project. It recently got a little more interest after being
dormant for a while.
