Clearly documented reading of emails functionality with python win32com outlook

For everyone wondering how to reach any default folder not just "Inbox" here's the list:

3  Deleted Items
4  Outbox
5  Sent Items
6  Inbox
9  Calendar
10 Contacts
11 Journal
12 Notes
13 Tasks
14 Drafts

There are more (Reminders, Sync errors etc.); you can get whole list with this code (inspired by John Cook's solution to Folders):

import win32com
outlook=win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
for i in range(50):
    try:
        box = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(i)
        name = box.Name
        print(i, name)
    except:
        pass

I'm not pasting the whole list here, because mine is in Polish and wouldn't be really helpful.

Interop Outlook Mailitem Properties

For instance I can see that message will probably have additional properties than what you listed above. For example.

• message.CC
• message.Importance
• message.LastModificationTime
