To get the mail from your inbox its a little different import imaplib Now you can send like a normal connection message = 'From: FROMADDR To: TOADDRLIST Subject: Your subject 'Ĭonn.sendmail(fromaddr,toaddrs,msg.format(txt)) Ive got it, to connect to outbound exchange you need to connect like this: import smtplib all the appropriate libraries will be available, but I need to operate independently from anything setup inside of Outlook). To clarify regarding Outlook: Outlook will be installed on the local machine, but it does not have any accounts setup (i.e. I can handle writing the code for that, if I can get a connection in the first place!

In case it is necessary: all the script will be doing is connecting to the mailbox, and running through the messages in the Inbox, retrieving the contents. Unfortunately, enabling IMAP access for the Exchange server (and then using imaplib) is not possible. Is this possible? If so, could someone provide example code? I would prefer if it only used the standard library and the pywin32 package. If I use win32com to create a MAPI.Session I could logon (with the Logon() method) with an existing profile, but I want to just provide a username & password. I need to connect to an Exchange mailbox in a Python script, without using any profile setup on the local machine (including using Outlook).
